The Bachelor of Science in Business Management (BSM) Program objectives are designed to produce entrepreneurs who may start new business or social ventures or enter an organization as an employee. In either case, ADSM graduates will be skilled at finding and shaping opportuniti8es in any content or form of work. The program seeks to develop graduates who are cognitively ambidextrous- that is, they can use analytical logic and techniques when faced with known forms of risk and uncertainty and entrepreneurial logic when faced with extreme uncertainty to the point of “unknowability.”

We do this by combining a holistic integration of the traditional business disciplines interwoven with our partner approach to teaching Entrepreneurial Thought and Action. As a result, our graduates succeed across the spectrum of local and global organizations needing leaders with: a relentless bias for action, an ability to create opportunities in a variety of contexts, and the entrepreneurial skill to ultimately drive results and run businesses.

Program Learning Goals - The Learning Goals of the Bachelor of Science in Business Management program are:


  • Deep Functional Knowledge of Business
  • Entrepreneurial and Critical Thinking
  • Communication & Teamwork Skills
  • International/Global Awareness
  • Quantitative and Technology Literacy
  • Ethics, Social and Environmental Responsibility
