Bachelor of Science in Administration Degree (BSBA) Majors Students in the Heider College of may complete an additional field of concentration or minor. Departments in the College of Arts and Sciences may, at their discretion, allow a student to complete a major. The second major is in addition to the BSBA degree; students do not receive a BA or BS degree from the College of Arts and Sciences. Requirements of the field of concentration, major or minor are listed in each department's entry in the catalog. To apply for an additional field of concentration, major, or minor the student should contact the Dean's Office for appropriate advising and referral. The four-year undergraduate program in business administration comprises two natural divisions, the first including the freshman and sophomore years, and the second the junior and senior years. The work of the first, or lower division, consists largely of required s and has a two-fold purpose:. to provide a broad cultural background, and 2. to furnish necessary training in the fundamental principles of business and economics. During the student s junior and senior years, provision is made for a group of required and elective s intended to provide a familiarity with the basic areas of business administration. In addition, the following major fields of study are offered: Accounting (http://catalog.creighton.edu/undergraduate/business/ accounting) Intelligence and Analytics (http://catalog.creighton.edu/ undergraduate/business/business-intelligence) Economics (http://catalog.creighton.edu/undergraduate/business/ economics-finance/#majorstext) Finance (http://catalog.creighton.edu/undergraduate/business/ economics-finance) Management (http://catalog.creighton.edu/undergraduate/business/ marketing-management) Marketing (http://catalog.creighton.edu/undergraduate/business/ marketing-management) International (http://catalog.creighton.edu/undergraduate/ business/economics-finance) In each field instructional emphasis is not directed toward the development of routine skills or to particular industries. Instead, every effort is made to stimulate students to think logically, to process and evaluate information, and to make sound decisions from the overall management point of view. With more than 500 years of collective business experience, the faculty teaching in every major provide students with discipline-based skills, as well as industry knowledge. Due to experiential teaching methods and active learning, students leave the college prepared to start careers in their chosen majors, with an eye to leadership and higher level management in those areas. All of this is grounded in the great Jesuit tradition that stimulates students to think logically, process and evaluate information, and make sound decisions. How do students actually choose a major? A number of factors inform the decision, including work and internship experiences, family
2 Heider College of occupations and family-owned businesses, favorite s, and the student's natural skills and talents. Students are encouraged to discuss possible majors with their academic advisors, as well as with the faculty offering s in specific majors. The Career Portfolio program can be helpful, too, as it informs students about their aptitudes, as well as the jobs, career ladders, and compensation in various fields. It is recommended that students select a field of concentration by the end of the junior year. A major must be officially declared prior to the student s final semester. Some majors require departmental approval and have acceptance requirements that differ from general graduation requirements. For specific requirements, refer to the major page. Students may earn multiple majors by satisfying the requirements for each as shown in the Catalog. If a specific satisfies the requirements of more than one major, that may be counted toward fulfillment of each set of major requirements. Only one common class can be shared between majors.
