2004-05 Undergraduate Catalog
The Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (B.A.B.A.) provides students the opportunity to design a program of study that combines the fundamentals of business with an area of specialization other than business. Students who complete this program will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration degree with a major of Business Administration General Studies.
Area of Specialization Requirements
Areas of specialization are listed immediately following the description of the B.A.B.A. program of study. There is a minimum requirement of four courses/12 credits (3000-4000 level) for each area. A list of approved courses for each area are available in the Undergraduate Programs Office in Stuzin Hall, Room 267, and online at www.cba.ufl.edu/upo/Programs/babaspecializations.asp.
Students in the B.A.B.A. program are also required to take 12 hours of 3000-/4000-level business courses beyond the core. These courses must be taken through the University of Florida. B.A.B.A. students may utilize one online B.S.B.A. Professional Development Course to fulfill part of this requirement. B.A.B.A. students are encouraged to complete one of the following professional development experiences: an internship, a study abroad program, the University Scholars Program, McNair Scholars Achievement Program, extracurricular leadership experiences (e.g. philanthropic organizations, student organizations), or an honors thesis. Students should consult with an academic adviser for specific information.
