BBA

BBA stands for Bachelor of Business Administration, an undergraduate degree awarded by universities worldwide. It provides a broad foundation in business fundamentals and is designed to prepare graduates for entry-level management roles as well as for further study in business.

Curriculum typically covers accounting, finance, marketing, management, operations, information systems, economics, and business law, with opportunities to specialize through majors or concentrations such as international business, entrepreneurship, human resources, or supply chain management.

Programs generally run three to four years, depending on country and structure. In the United States, four-year programs are common; in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries, three-year programs are common, and some institutions offer extended or honors variants.

Assessment includes examinations, coursework, internships, and capstone projects. Many programs require or encourage internships and may include a practical project or case study.

Admission typically requires completion of secondary education and may require standardized tests, language proficiency for international students, and meeting minimum grade thresholds.

Accreditation: while institutional accreditation is important, accreditation of the business school or the program by bodies such as AACSB, EQUIS, or AMBA enhances recognition and quality assurance.

Career prospects include roles in management, accounting and finance, marketing, operations, human resources, and consulting. The degree is commonly used as a stepping stone to professional programs such as an MBA, or to pursue entrepreneurship.

Some universities offer BBA with majors or an integrated 4+1 path to an MBA, while others exist as online or distance-learning programs.
