Key Summary
Introduction
The BS in Business Administration is for students with a very strong interest in business who want exceptionally strong preparation in that field.
The program is more structured than many business programs and ensures that the student is exposed to the business areas of accounting, economics, finance, management, marketing, international business, business law, and information systems. The program also includes exposure to advanced topics that are important to the business. The bachelor of science (BS) in business administration covers the breadth of business-related disciplines as defined in the business core curriculum. The major does not provide a specific specialization but rather exposes the student to various business functions. This major is ideally suited to the new or transfer upper-division business student or for the student interested in concurrently pursuing another area of study.

Emphasis in Sports and Entertainment Management
This emphasis is only available at the St. Louis home campus.
The emphasis on sports and entertainment management is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to succeed in the business side of sports and entertainment. The administration of academic and professional sports and athletic franchises is a large and growing business in the United States and around the world. Sometimes overlooked but also important is the use of professional sports venues to host live entertainment events (concerts, ice events, children's shows).
Recognizing the importance of both sports and entertainment, this program provides an inclusive approach providing graduates the skills necessary to be successful in both areas of business.
