Business Administration (BSBA)
Bachelor's Degree Programs
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
The BSBA was developed to afford busy students a degree option that would recognize the full range of their abilities in a convenient and flexible format. In addition to completing the general curriculum core, all BSBA candidates must complete a business core and a concentration in either accountancy, management, healthcare management, human resource management, digital marketing and social media, or sport, event, and hospitality management.
In addition to the core curriculum requirements, BSBA students must complete the business core courses and concentration courses as detailed on the following pages. All students are required to take 120 credits to meet graduation requirements.
