This program provides students the opportunity to combine a comprehensive business administration education with other areas of interest to create a customized degree program.
The Bachelor of Science in Business (BSB) degree prepares students for careers in a variety of business roles. Students will acquire core business knowledge and pursue an area of emphasis via a minor, certificate, or program-approved directed electives.
The flexibility and customization features of the BSB prepare students for a broad range of degree options based on their unique interests and skill sets. Students may pursue employment in traditional business roles or a sector in line with their area of interest. The flexibility of the BSB program may also allow for pre-professional students (pre-med, pre-health, etc.) to incorporate some or all their non-business prerequisite courses into their degree plan.
Students must be admitted to the Bachelor of Science in Business degree program and may not major or double-major in a Mays Business School Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) major, including accounting, business honors, finance, management, management information systems, marketing, and supply chain management.
