Department of Business Administration and Systems
The Department of Business Administration and Systems supports the missions of the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and the College of Business by preparing students for careers in business administration and business systems. These careers include organization administration and management, information management, logistics management, supply chain management, enterprise resource planning, business analysis, global commerce, international business, and consulting.
Degree in Degree in Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.)
The primary undergraduate degree offered by the College of Business is the Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) with a choice of a major in Accounting, Business Systems, Economics, Finance, Management, or Marketing. Because the B.B.A. is a professional degree, it is the degree of choice for students who want to be recognized professionally as business school graduates. The B.B.A. best prepares students for graduate studies in business, organization management, and law.
B.B.A. students have the option of earning a minor or a second major in any of the business major areas, a specialization in cross-function areas such as electronic commerce, entrepreneurship and international business, or a minor in any other academic area offered at UMHB. Because of the competitive advantage of having a second field of study, students are urged to consider at least one of these options. Students not pursuing one of these options are required by the degree plan to earn nine (9) hours of upper level Business electives.
Courses required for a B.B.A. major field or a B.B.A. minor field in the College of Business MAY NOT be taken for upper level Business elective credit. This rule became effective Fall 2004 for all new entering freshmen and transfer students and Fall 2005 for all students enrolled prior to Fall 2004.
No grade lower than “C” will count toward fulfillment of major field requirements.
