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
advisor. The general business specialization
may not be combined with any other area of
specialization to form a dual area of specialization.
