Bachelor of Science - Business Administration

Program Description

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's (ERAU) Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) degree provides graduates with the knowledge and skills essential for successful entry into desirable business careers.

Students emerge with a strong business foundation and the teaming skills needed to be successful in a management or business-focused career, domestically and abroad. Embry-Riddle students are encouraged to think beyond traditional academic boundaries and seek workplace and cultural experiences that will enrich and enlighten them on the evolving workplace and the increasingly global business environment.

The Business Administration degree is housed in the School of Business in the College of Business, Security and Intelligence.

Students choose from three areas of concentration, upon which to focus their business interests: Accounting, Finance, or Management.

Diverse elective courses allow students to broaden their general education interests or pursue specific minor courses of study in more than forty areas including: aviation safety, engineering science, global business, humanities, international relations, Mandarin Chinese, psychology, security and intelligence studies, and/or unmanned aircraft systems. 

Unique study abroad programs, as well as internship/co-op educational experiences are available to students, and are highly encouraged. 

Students will benefit from the Prescott Campus’ close relationship with the Arizona Business Aviation Association (AZBAA), which has created opportunities for internships and jobs, many of which are not aviation focused.

Prescott's close proximity to Phoenix, Arizona allows students to attend a plethora of interesting conferences in which Embry-Riddle Prescott Business students are well prepared, strong competitors. The Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) Business club members have enjoyed competition success eight times at the State Leadership Conference with several top 10 national placements.

The ERAU’s close affiliation with companies that serve the aviation, aerospace, and global industries, provides students with additional business career options for consideration.
