Vision

We want to establish as best business school of the region and be the symbol of knowledge, innovation, research and leadership

Mission

The Department of Business Administration strives to offer inclusive, top-tier business education, transcending economic barriers. With innovative teaching methods, industry ties, and community involvement, our goal is to empower diverse aspiring leaders to foster sustainable development and prosperity locally and globally.

As the premier department within the Faculty of Management Sciences and Social Sciences, the Department of Business Administration maintains a longstanding tradition of systematically revising and enhancing the curricula of its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. This commitment to curricular dynamism ensures that the department remains relevant in the post- pandemic context, where Sustainability, Artificial Intelligence, Business Analytics, Financial Technology, Islamic Perspective of Finance and Financial Economics, and Industry have emerged as foundational paradigms. The programmes offered—namely the PhD/MS (Evening) in Management Science (Finance, HRM, Marketing, Project Management), Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), BS Financial Technology (FinTech), BBAIT, BS Accounting & Finance, BS Commerce, BS E- Commerce, BS Economics & Finance, and Master of Business Administration (MBA)—constitute a sound choice for aspiring professionals, underpinned by accreditation from the National Business Education Accreditation Council (NBEAC). The department takes pride in a unique composition of faculty members, featuring both internationally and locally trained PhD holders. This academic diversity is further enriched by a balanced representation of genders, a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, as well as a blend of corporate and scholarly experiences, international exposure, and strong research capabilities. A hallmark of the department is its steadfast integration of environmental responsiveness, innovation, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) into its academic framework. These principles are deeply embedded within semester and capstone projects and are prominently showcased during the annual Open House. Moreover, the department places pronounced emphasis on fostering an entrepreneurial ecosystem, transcending the confines of standalone entrepreneurship courses to permeate the entirety of the academic journey. This holistic approach cultivates both the capacity and capability essential for successful entrepreneurial ventures. The department's extensive corporate affiliations, sponsorships, and strategic partnerships across a broad spectrum of industries and other well-known Universities facilitate a seamless interface between academic theory and business practice. These linkages serve as conduits for industry feedback, expert consultation, and formal recognition, thereby contributing to the ongoing refinement of curricula, enhancement of practical competencies, and expansion of consultancy prospects. Finally, the faculty’s adoption of a mentorship-oriented leadership style fosters a nurturing and intellectually stimulating environment. This approach plays a pivotal role in shaping students into future-ready human capital, thus laying the foundation for a more prosperous and sustainable societal future.
