About the Program
Business is an integral part of society, touching on almost every aspect of our lives. Society needs smart, skilled and ethical individuals in business. You can contribute your talents and energy to solving problems, creating value and having a positive impact on the world through business. Careers in business are diverse and often highly paid. A bachelor's degree in business administration gives you a foundation of business knowledge covering principles of accounting, finance, operations, marketing and management, among others, with the opportunity to specialize in a specific area.
