The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) is a bachelor's degree in business studies. In most universities, the degree is conferred upon a student after four years of full-time study (120 credit hours) in one or more areas of business concentrations; see below. The BBA program usually includes general business courses and advanced courses for specific concentrations. Alternative degree titles include Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA), and Bachelor in Management Studies (BMS).

[edit] Program content

BBA programs expose students to a variety of "core subjects", and, as above, allow students to specialize in a specific academic area; compare MBA Program content.

The core usually comprises: accounting, business law and ethics, economics, finance, management information systems, marketing, operations management, organizational behavior and management, operations research, and strategic management.

The concentration areas include extensions of the above, as well as specialized topics such as Entrepreneurship, Human resource management, International business, Investment management, Real Estate and Supply chain management.

[edit] Accreditation

Particularly in the U.S., undergraduate Business Administration programs may be accredited, thus indicating that the school's educational curriculum meets specific quality standards; see Accreditation under MBA. Note though, that the value of accreditation at Bachelor’s level is sometimes questioned.[by whom?]
