Admissions & Requirements
The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is built upon a broad foundation including no less than 50 percent of all courses taken in the liberal arts and a business curriculum offering both depth and breadth.
After one year in the School of Arts and Sciences, students may declare their major in Business Administration, Accounting, or Economics. Students may have only one major in the school of business, chosen from accounting, business administration, or economics. A concentration(s) may be attached to any of these majors but is only required for the business administration major.

- Communications Skills I - Expository Writing
- Communications Skills II - Foreign Language

We strongly recommended that students complete their pre-business requirements (ECON 101-102, ACCT 201-202, BUAD 201, BUAD 203, MATH 211) during their first two years on campus. After meeting these requirements, students may select from six concentrations and in-depth study within these concentrations.
