Bachelor of Business Administration in Business Studies in Pittsburg United States | Pittsburg State University

A major in Business Studies is primarily designed for those students who wish to build their own multi-disciplinary business degree or who plan to work in small businesses or for themselves. The program is not tied to or dependent upon the prospects for any one specialized business occupation or industry. It is intended to support the overall Kansas business economy and that economy is dominated by small businesses with less than 500 employees. Graduates of the program will be able to demonstrate a multi-disciplinary business education that will support multiple-proficiencies that are expected by small business employers and needed by entrepreneurs. Given the relative size of the small business economy in Kansas, and in the neighboring states within Pittsburg State’s primary service region, the employment prospects for graduates of the program are very strong. Students seeking the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree with a major in Business Studies will select a combination of at least two disciplinary minors andor certificate course sequences offered by the Kelce College of Business. The minors or certificates chosen must comprise at least 21 unique upper-division credit hours. Note that some minors and certificates include courses which are also part of the Kelce Core and Prerequisites sequence and that some minors and certificates share common courses. Therefore, the Business Studies program allows students to “stack” existing minors and certificates and thereby build a customized interdisciplinary major to suit their career goals. The chosen minors andor certificates will appear on the transcripts of each Business Studies graduate.
