Program Description

(a) Business Administration (Management Specialization)

UNAD Florida recognizes that an organization’s top leadership should have an array of knowledge about technical operations, so he/she can devise a great mission statement and have the aptitude to develop the staff’s capacity in order to implement that vision. With this in mind, we designed a program that uses course work to create a synergy between knowledge that is gained in the classroom and skills developed in the workplace. In that way, cognitive learning, workplace learning and peer learning build on each other.
