Bachelor of Business Administration

The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Bachelor of Science in Business
Administration, or Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration is a bachelor's degree in business
administration awarded by colleges and universities after completion of four years and typically 120
credits of undergraduate study in the fundamentals of business administration, usually including
advanced courses in business analytics, business communication, corporate finance, financial
accounting, macroeconomics, management, management accounting, marketing, microeconomics,
strategic management, supply chain management, and other key academic subjects associated with
the academic discipline of business management.

Curriculum structure
The degree is designed to give a broad knowledge of the functional aspects of a company and their
interconnection, while also allowing specialization in a particular business-related academic
discipline.[1] BBA programs expose students to a range of core subjects and generally allow students
to specialize in a specific business-related academic discipline or disciplines.

The BBA degree also develops a student's practical, managerial, and communication skills, and
business decision-making capabilities that prepare them for the management of a business entity.
Many programs incorporate training and practical experience in the form of case projects,
presentations, internships, industrial visits, and interaction with established industry experts.[2]

General educational requirements emphasize humanities and social sciences, including history,
economics, and literature. Core mathematics curriculum are usually required and business-related,
including quantitative mathematics accounting, statistics, and related courses. Calculus and business
statistics are usually required.

BSBA

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA), is a quantitative variant of the

BBA. General educational requirements are even more mathematics-oriented; furthermore, the
general focus within business may also be more analytic, often allowing additional quantitative
optional coursework.
