Business Administration

The School of Business Administration provides academic programs that provide a solid foundation for students in leadership roles in business, government and education. Performance standards are high for both undergraduate and graduate programs. Academic programs reflect the philosophy and common professional components of the accrediting body, the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). To prepare students for professional careers, the curricula address both the specifics of the work place and the more general aspects of society.

The School of Business Administration offers one degree, the bachelor of business administration (B.B.A.), with concentrations in accounting, finance, international business, management, marketing, management information systems, and general business. Students may select a second major or minor in a field outside the School of Business or may select a minor from within the School of Business.

The general education requirements for the B.B.A. degree (See University Core Requirements) are 42 to 45 credit hours. All business majors and minors (including non-business minors) are required to take CS 101, Econ 216, and Math 155 within the university core requirements. An approved sample recommended curriculum or plan of study is available from the school.

Students, in conjunction with their advisers, may select upper-division electives from the following disciplines: Anthropology, business, sociology, psychology, media arts, exercise and sport science.

The number of electives varies by concentration.

Exit requirements for the BBA degree

During the last year of coursework, all undergraduate students are required to complete Mgmt 489: Strategic Management. Students will work as a team to prepare and present a strategic business analysis as the final aspect of their undergraduate business preparation. The business case will be presented to members of the School of Business Administration faculty at the end of each semester.
