Business Administration - Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (B.S.B.A.) Requirements
This major is offered through the Busch School of Business.
In addition to the courses for the major, students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration must choose at least one sub-plan specialization and complete the specialization requirements. Students may elect to complete up to three sub-plan specializations.
Double- or Triple-Specializing:
- Double-specializing requires the completion of the four requirements for each specialization, unless the two specializations share a requirement. In that case, one course may double-count.
- For example, a double-specialization may be completed with 4 + 3 courses (assuming a shared course). A minimum of 7 unique courses is required. Fewer courses is not permitted.
- Triple-specializing may be completed with 4 + 3 + 3 courses (assuming shared courses among the specializations, subject to the double counting limitations below).
- A second specialization fulfills the Business Elective requirement describe above.
Double-Counting (i.e. overlapping) Courses:
- Courses cannot double-count between Major Requirements (see section above) and Specializations requirements. The students specializing in the options below should note:
- Operations Management, Technology Management, and Data Analytics for Business students must carefully select the course to fulfill the Information Management requirement under Core Business Courses.
- Markets and Political Economy students must carefully select a specialization elective that does not overlap with the Business Law requirement under Core Business Courses.
- See the rule above for double-counting between specializations.
Please note, where specializations indicate elective courses additional electives may be approved by the specialization’s Area or Program Director.
