A business administration degree from Transylvania University will prepare you for successful careers and graduate work. Lexington, Kentucky, is a thriving business center that boasts operations such as Lexmark International, J. M. Smucker Company, Tempur-Pedic International, Fazoli\u2019s Restaurants, Clark Material Handling, Valvoline and Procter & Gamble. This strong economy combined with Transylvania\u2019s convenient location in the heart of the city translates into a wide variety of job and internship opportunities for business majors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

 Practical application makes Transylvania\u2019s business administration program different from those that focus almost exclusively on business theory and case studies. Transylvania\u2019s students have worked on projects with the Kentucky Horse Park, the Bluegrass Hospitality Group, the Lexington Visitors and Convention Bureau and many other organizations in the area<\/em>.<\/p>\nJulia Poynter, associate professor of business administration<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The program integrates knowledge from all areas of business and allows you to apply those concepts to solving real problems faced by companies and organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your choice, the courses prepare you for a range of opportunities, from starting your own business to joining a Fortune 500 company. The business classes, along with the general liberal arts courses required of all Transylvania students, provide a well-rounded education that can best suit your interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our program gives you the unique opportunity to specialize in one of four subject areas: management, marketing, finance or hospitality. These concentrations develop your analytical and creative abilities by having you complete upper-level projects with local companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
