Curriculum

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) degree program is designed to prepare students to meet the challenges of today's complex business environment. Students can pursue programs of study during all four quarters of the academic year, and courses are offered in both the day and evening.

Within the general business program, students choose a specialization from among 12 areas: accounting, economics, finance, human resources, information systems, international business, marketing, operations management, real estate and urban analysis, risk management and insurance, logistics management, and a special area option.

Acceptance in the student's major area of interest within the College of Business is competitive on a space available basis. More in-depth information on admission policies and course information may be found in the Course & Specialization Information on the Fisher website.
