Second, the curriculum includes a significant amount of study of the economic and legal environment ofbusiness and introduces each of the major functional fields of business-management information systems,accounting, finance, management, and marketing.

Third, the curriculum provides for a choice of a major by the student. The student is permitted to select amajor from accounting; business economics, with a concentration in financial economics; finance with concentrations in business finance,real estate, and risk management and insurance; hospitality resort management; international business; management; managementinformation systems; marketing management; sales; logistics supply chain management.

Fourth, the Bachelor of Business Administration curriculum provides students with a number of open electives.
