Overview

Also described as “general business,” the Business Administration major at Mississippi State University is the most popular and most flexible program we offer. This major teaches students the universal functions of business, such as: planning, organizing, staffing, directing, controlling, and budgeting—as well as how to organize these resources efficiently.

After learning each of these disciplines, you will then select across three areas for additional specialization, completing these courses during your junior and senior years at MSU. You can choose from accounting, business law, economics, finance, information systems, international business, management, marketing, real estate, and risk management & insurance.

General requirements

The application requires general information, parental/guardian information, and academic information. You can submit the online application without the application fee, transcripts, or test scores (optional) and send them at a later time. However, you must submit these items in order for us to review your complete application file for both admission and scholarship purposes.

Mississippi State University will waive the admissions application fee for freshman applicants who submit an approved ACT/SAT or NACAC Request for Waiver of College Application Fee form obtained from and signed by their high school counselor. This waiver is need-based and not related to the scores received on the ACT/SAT test. Once this form is completed and signed, students can upload the form to their applicant portal. Students who are eligible for free and reduced lunch are eligible for the NACAC fee waiver.
