Purpose
The general business specialization in the BSBA program is designed
for students who want to obtain a broad business background or
who want a business program tailored to their specific needs.
The general business specialization may be chosen by a student
who is interested in general management, small business, family
business or entrepreneurial firms, or interested in a particular
industry or sector of the economy. A wide range of study areas,
courses and careers are possible.
Students are
encouraged to design the general business specialization in consultation
with an academic adviser. The general business specialization
may not be combined with any other area of specialization to form
