The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration program is an upper division undergraduate degree program that offers students an opportunity to blend their personal and professional experience with quantitative and qualitative coursework. The program is designed to support students in their quest to work effectively in an increasingly more complex business environment and includes the skill sets related to the administration of a business enterprise. Those skills sets include critical thinking, ethical decision making and problem solving and the analysis and evaluation of economic, financial and statistical data. The BSBA program culminates in a capstone course, which enables students to integrate the learned skill sets with business theory. In the capstone course, students develop an overall strategic organizational plan, which involves the design, formulation and management of business policies and strategies for change.
The BSBA program is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), whose main focus is on teaching excellence. The program is built on the core professional components that are recognized by the ACBSP as necessary for the broad understanding of the business environment. Those components include economics, finance, accounting, statistics, marketing and the legal environment of business
Students in the BSBA program progress by taking one course at a time in a designated sequence. They work in project teams that increase their learning opportunities, serve as a support system and allow them to evaluate diverse solutions to typical business challenges. During the first course in the program, all students complete a joint Community Service Project that allows them to learn to function in a team, deepens their appreciation of their civic duties and responsibilities and demonstrates the Franciscan Values that are inherent to the mission of Cardinal Stritch University.
A graduate of the BSBA program gains the skills needed to recommend alternative solutions to business challenges and opportunities, as well as the ability to communicate those solutions effectively. This program can be taken in the classroom or online.
