A broad-based degree with deep knowledge

SFA’s Bachelor of Business Administration in General Business offers a wide range of classes that you can combine and customize to suit your interests and career goals. Considering law school? An emphasis in legal studies might be just the ticket.

General Business, BBA

This major is designed for students interested in developing a broad-based understanding of business disciplines while providing students the flexibility to emphasize a specific area within the broader framework of business courses. As a general business student, you will complete a selection of core courses that will give you a strong foundation of business knowledge. From there, you can complete business courses that align with your interests and intended career path. 

Online completer-program option

The online option is designed for students who have earned an associate degree in business from a two-year institution and are limited by time and distance in their options for completing a BBA. Students who do not have an associate degree may still be able to complete the online BBA.

All SFA undergraduate students must complete the university's core curriculum. Business students also must complete two business common courses, including the Career Success Passport, and BBA students are required to complete foundations of knowledge business courses.
