Pre-Business Program
What Can I Do With A Degree In Business Administration?
Effective managers are needed at all levels of business,
industry and government - from first line supervisors to
top executives - to plan and direct the work of the organization,
set policy, establish channels of communication, and evaluate
the work that is done.
Entry level opportunities for business graduates are categorized
by the following function al areas: accounting, finance,
human resources, management, marketing, management information
systems, production and operations. Individual internships
in Business Administration (BSAD 1981) provide students with
work experience directly related interests. This experience
can enhance their academic progress and increase their employability
upon graduation.
Entry level positions for business graduates typically involve
training programs. The approach to training varies from highly
structured programs to less formalized on-the job training
situations. Formal management trainee programs are most frequently
found in finance, trade, and manufacturing companies and
in government agencies.
Many graduates pursue an MBA at UCR or continue their studies
in areas such as law, public administration, or urban planning
at one of the many distinguished graduate or professional
schools.
