The mission of the Department of Business and Information Management is to provide students with a comprehensive career program that stresses the science and art of managing the human, physical, and financial resources of a business. The curriculum addresses principles, concepts, and practices that influence the activities of finance, operations, human resources and marketing of a business.

Business Administration is a broad, comprehensive career program that deals with the science and art of managing the human, physical and economic resources of a business enterprise. As a science and art, it deals with principles, concepts, and practices that influence the activities of finance, production, personnel, distribution and marketing. Emphasis is placed on management’s ability to analyze, plan, motivate, coordinate and control the varied activities necessary for effective and successful operation of a business organization.

In addition to going on for a Master’s in Business Administration, Delaware Valley University business graduates have found positions as: commercial loan analysts, owners/operators of businesses, accountants, compliance specialists, credit associates, supervisors, office managers, bankers, and auditors, as well as other positions in management.
