Business Administration BS

The Business Administration major prepares students for professional careers in areas such as accounting, business economics, family business, finance, management, marketing, management information systems, international business and entrepreneurship. Each business administration student chooses a faculty advisor who not only helps them explore career options but also recommends courses to be taken over the sophomore, junior and senior years. The Business Administration major provides a high degree of flexibility. In consultation with a faculty advisor, a student is encouraged to explore career options, including graduate school, and to select business and non-business electives that provide a professional focus. 

Students opting for this major must take the courses listed in the Business Professional core and business elective courses, to total a minimum of 48 credit hours in business. 

Students are encouraged to focus their business interests through selection of minors offered by the College of Business, as well as minors within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The Arts and Sciences Core courses, general education requirements and arts and sciences electives, plus one upper-level course in economics to total a minimum of 60 credit hours, must also be completed.
