Business Administration, B.S.
The Business Administration program offers students a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) degree. In addition to the general education courses, Business Administration majors take business core courses which help them gain general business knowledge. All Business Administration majors must also select one course from each of the areas of Business, namely Accounting, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Management, Management Information Systems, and Marketing as their core electives. This will provide our students with a comprehensive knowledge in all areas of business which are equally important. This also allows our students the flexibility to select courses from different business areas. Our program prepares students to pursue their desired career in Business as well as prepare them for graduate study. The department also offers a Minor in Accounting, a minor in Business Administration, and a minor in Entrepreneurship to students who are pursuing majors in programs outside the department.
