Business Administration Major
Learn business from the inside out.
The business administration major is more than comprehensive—it emphasizes every business topic under the sun. In addition to the broad range of concepts you will study in the classroom, you will interface with faculty from nearly every business field and will even have the chance to study abroad—all while sharpening your managerial leadership skills.
From accountancy to supply chain management, our Bachelor's in Business Administration (BBA) gives you a first-hand understanding of how every business function integrates with one another to drive value. By teaming up with companies like Starbucks, Target and U.S. Bank, the BBA teaches you how businesses actually operate—and how they address important issues like social responsibility, ethics and diversity, as well as how they manage crises.
Whether you are developing a marketing plan for a sustainable farming nonprofit or advising the founders of at-risk youth programs, business courses like Strategic Management give you real-world consulting experience. And throughout your entire journey, you will have award-winning research professors and successful business leaders to guide you—and to cheer you on.
