The School of Business Administration is a multipurpose, professional school that built its reputation on a commitment to excellence and a concern for responding to the needs of the world of business. Its commitment remains to relevance and a continuing concern for quality. The historic mission of the school has been to prepare effective professional managers for entry into practice as leaders in the business world.
The school attracts outstanding students from high schools and community colleges throughout California and the nation, as well as from numerous countries around the world. The current undergraduate enrollment is in excess of 2,300 declared business majors.
The school's location in Los Angeles, the heart of one of the world's greatest business centers and an area world-famous for innovation and growth, provides students the opportunity to work closely with the business community and to bridge the gap between the classroom and the actual scene of business enterprise.
The school has evolved a useful working relationship with the business and industrial leaders of Southern California. Instruction by faculty is supplemented by visits from operating executives in a wide variety of local business and industrial concerns. Because many class projects are based on real-world problems, students are invited to visit industrial and business firms for observation and also attend association and trade meetings in Los Angeles. Many of the faculty take part in business activities, both as members and officers of professional organizations and as consultants to business.
