The Business Administration major offers students greater flexibility with a revised curriculum. Instead of prescribed upper level business courses, the revised Business Administration degree now permits you to select the courses for your major field.  All students must complete 27-28 credits of 300/400 level business courses beyond the Upper Division BBA Core, distributed across a minimum of (4) four different business disciplines.  Courses may be selected from Accounting, Computer & Information Science, Finance, Information Systems, International Business, Management & Labor Relations, Marketing, and Operations Management & Business Statistics. For a complete list of business courses, please consult the Undergraduate Catalog.

A degree completion option for this major became available to students at the CSU West Center in Fall 2007.  In Fall 2008, the degree will be offered at the West Center in an accelerated format.  The Business Administration major is also available through our partnership with Lakeland Community College. 

The revised curriculum requires 27-28 credits of 300/400 level business courses, as described above, in addition to the Upper Division BBA Core.

(W) Counts as a Writing Across the Curriculum course for university requirements (only if taken at CSU).  Students must earn a grade of “C or better in order to receive Writing Across the Curriculum credit.

+ Students may not register for MLR 465 until all other Upper Division B.B.A.   Core Requirements are completed.  MLR 465 may not be taken concurrently with any other Upper Division Core Requirements.
