Bachelor of Business Administration

What Will I Learn?

The business administration major dominates the list of most in-demand majors. Majoring in business administration may prepare you for a wide-range of high-paying careers with above average growth prospects. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)

Courses in accounting, economics, finance, management, marketing, management information system, and supply chain management will help you gain a broad view of the best business principles and practices. Beyond this, you can select one elective course in international business and five elective courses among School of Business and Economics (SBE) upper-division courses in your selected specialization in business, focusing on areas that best suit your skills, interests and career goals.

What is Unique About Our Program?

Many of our business administration majors add extra value to their program with a minor. Just think — knowing something about art history could serve you well at a business dinner, a minor in psychology could help you to better understand your clients, or maybe you just like music. We will encourage you to pursue your many interests and round out your education.
