So, how does this all work?\u00a0There are three components to the BBA program.\u00a0 First, is a series of general education courses required of all students at Marymount University — \u201cThe Liberal Arts Core<\/a> (LAC).\u201d\u00a0 These non-business courses offer students the breadth of knowledge and skills needed to succeed in today\u2019s complex global, business environment.<\/p>\n

Second, is \u201cThe BBA Core” (see below).\u00a0That is, all BBA students take courses in accounting, business law, economics, finance, international business, management, management science, and marketing.\u00a0These courses create the foundation upon which students build their business expertise.<\/p>\n

Third, typically beginning in the junior year, students begin their \u201cdeep dive\u201d into an area of specialization.\u00a0 We call these areas of specialization, \u201cThe Minor.\u201d\u00a0 The Minor is a means of creating a highly customized program to meet students\u2019 interests and provide them with the credentials and skills that employers in the \u201cWhat\u2019s Next Economy\u201d expect. The SBT has minors in all the traditional areas of business (i.e., Economics, Finance, Entrepreneurship, Human Resource and Talent Management, International Business, Marketing, and Sport Management). And if you\u2019re interested in focusing more deeply in the field of Accounting, there is the B.S. in Accounting program. Additionally, as an alternative means of customizing their program, students may opt to pursue their BBA minor in an Information Technology related field.<\/p>\n

Major Requirements<\/h2>\n

To fulfill the requirements of the major, all students in this program will take the following BBA\u00a0Core coursework in a sequence determined in collaboration with a faculty advisor as well as a Business or IT related Minor. All students also must fulfill Liberal Arts Core<\/a> and University requirements, and some of the following courses may also satisfy those requirements.<\/p>\n
