Bachelors in Business Administration teach students how to manage limited resources to turn a profit and grow a business. Undergraduate Business Administration studies, such as BBA degrees offered by international business schools, teach notions like production and planning, decision making, project management, as well as allocating human resources and finances in line with organisational goals, policies, and procedures.
You should study a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration if you feel inspired by iconic entrepreneurs like Bill Gates, Elon Musk or Steve Jobs and you want to learn a little bit of everything, getting a general business background. Studying in a business school will teach you how to look at numbers to evaluate success and potential wins. A Business Administration Bachelor's is also a great first step towards a future MBA, helping you decide on which MBA specialisation to choose and specialize in.
Bachelors in Business Administration are very versatile and offer a wide range of specialisations, including: Finance, Banking, Digital Marketing, Hospitality, Human Resource Management, and pretty much any field you can do business in. Even with a specialisation, Business Administration Bachelors are flexible degrees, so you will not just learn about a single aspect of business.
You will find Bachelor's degrees in Business Administration offered as B.A. degrees (Bachelor of Arts) or B.B.A. degrees (Bachelor of Business Administration). Most Business Administration Bachelors take 3 years to graduate, but you can also find 2-year accelerated Bachelors as well as 4-year Bachelors, usually offered by universities in the U.S.
Business Administration courses equip students with a strong understanding of business fundamentals, management principles, and the interpersonal skills needed to succeed in the business world. Most majors include classes in Mathematics, Marketing, Statistics, Business Law, Accounting or International Business. You will also learn elements of Micro- and Macro-economics and become familiarized with using quantitative methods. Critical thinking, an awareness of social factors in business and good communication are essential skills you will develop during your Business studies.
After graduating your Bachelor's in Business Administration, you will probably spend a few years working in an entry-level role until you get promoted to a manager.
