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 core courses for the major, students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration must choose at least one specialization sub-plan and complete the specialization requirements. Students may elect to complete up to three sub-plan specialization or co-specialization sub-plans. Specializations require the completion of 5 courses. Students may also complete a 4 course co-specialization in addition to their primary specialization (co-specialization may not be taken alone).
Double- or Triple-Specializing:
- Students may double-specialize. This requires the completion of the requirements for each specialization (or co-specialization). If the two specializations share a course, one course may double-count (effectively reducing the courses needed to complete both sub-plans by one).
- Students may also choose to triple-specialize. Students may double-count across any combination of the specializations (effectively reducing the courses needed to complete all sub-plans by two). For example, a student triple-specializing in International Business, Marketing and Sales may double-count MKT 362 towards both International Business and Marketing, and may double-count MKT 349 towards both Marketing and Sales.
- A second specialization fulfills the Business Elective requirement describe above.
Double-Counting (i.e. overlapping) Courses:
- Courses cannot double-count between Major requirements and Specializations requirements. The students specializing in the options below should note:
- Technology & Operations Management and Data Analytics students must carefully select the course to fulfill the Business Analytics Elective 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.
