Bachelor in Business Administration

Business Administration examines how organizations are structured, financed, and run, spanning management, marketing, accounting, finance, and operations. Students typically study microeconomics and macroeconomics, financial and managerial accounting, organizational behavior, marketing principles, business law, statistics, and strategic management, often supported by case studies and group projects that mirror real workplace decisions. The discipline prepares graduates for roles in corporate management, marketing, finance, human resources, consulting, and entrepreneurship, and it also serves as a common foundation for further study in an MBA or specialized master's program.
