Bachelor in Business Administration

The three-year bachelor in Business Administration is an integrated, multidisciplinary degree program. The program’s principal strength is its combination of business, liberal arts and social science courses. Conventional business administration programs at the undergraduate level emphasize a high level of specialization in business specific courses. As a result, graduates of these programs lack sufficient exposure to a wide array of non-business courses that inform students of the broader societal and intellectual context in which business and organizations operate.

• Develop critical management competencies in core business disciplines (ie., accounting, finance, marketing, operations management and strategic management)
