Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
|
Walden’s Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Business Administration is a completion program that provides students with a solid grounding in the core knowledge and competencies required in today’s diverse, global, and technologically sophisticated business environment.
|
Business Administration majors gain a working knowledge of the principles and concepts of management theory and practice by examining the interrelationships among the major business disciplines. Through case studies and demonstrations, students evaluate practical applications of the manager’s role in planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling.
This major is results-oriented and extends beyond theories and conceptual understanding to practical application. Once students have a solid foundation in their selected major, they select a concentration from today’s most important fields. This flexibility ensures that students learn professionally relevant skills that can be directly applied to the working world.
Concentrations:
- Finance
In this concentration, you’ll learn how to effectively assess and guide the operation of an organization. The curriculum will help you gain insights into the key financial levers of an organization, and as a result, help management direct the organization to optimize its value to both its employees and other shareholders.

- Management
This concentration provides students with advanced knowledge and skill in international management, human resource management, and knowledge management. The focus is on aligning contemporary management practices with strategic direction.
