The Business Administration program provides all students with the educational content, practical knowledge, professional skills, and self-confidence to enter, progress, and succeed in today’s business climate.
Central to the preparation of Business Administration students and unique to our program is the encouragement and support of students’ involvement with the business community, principally through the Business Advisory Council, a council of business leaders from a variety of industries across several states, and required business internships and or projects. The curriculum of and experience in the program results in students developing effective, individual leadership styles.
The program consists of general education requirements, supporting requirements in mathematics and statistics, and a broad foundation of business functions. This design ultimately allows students to achieve the goals listed above under Business Division.

 The
major in Business Administration with a concentration
in Accounting is designed to prepare students for roles
of responsibility and leadership in the field of accounting.
The solid foundation provided by the general education
component, coupled with the supporting business administration
and accounting requirements, will prepare students to
become effective leaders able to serve the field of
accounting, the community and society. Additionally,
it prepares students to enter graduate programs in business
and/or accounting.
The
Accounting concentration meets the accounting course
requirements to sit for the CPA and CMA exams. As of
the year 2000, Kentucky, along with most other states,
requires applicants who sit for the CPA exam to have
completed 150 semester hours of course work including
a baccalaureate degree. Students interested in sitting
for the exam, may complete additional hours of course
work at Midway College or may choose to continue on
to do graduate work at a Masters degree-granting institution.

bloodstock agencies, tack shops and equine insurance
agencies.

an office setting by completing an Equine Internship
and Equine Senior Project. Many students choose additional
equine courses as electives. To graduate with a Bachelor
of Arts degree with a major in Business Administration
and a concentration in Equine Business, the student
must take an entrance and exit examination administered

Employers
often list good written and oral communication skills,
the ability to analyze and solve problems, facility
in mathematics and a knowledge of one's historical and
cultural background as necessary for success in most
fields. The business administration major offers students
this combination of a liberal arts background and a
solid foundation in business.
Students
graduating with an Associate of Arts degree in Business
Administration find a variety of opportunities open
to them. They will have the general business background
that enables them to find an entry-level job. Many of
Midway's Business Administration majors choose this
option.
Students
wishing to continue at Midway to earn a bachelor's degree
in business administration will find an almost exact
articulation between the associate and baccalaureate
degrees in business.
