General BBA

The General BBA is designed for students who do not wish to specialize in a specific area of business, but instead would like to take a wider array of courses to provide greater breadth in their management education. Many positions in business require the varied skills that a generalist can offer, so choosing the General BBA can be a wise choice especially for those students whose interests lie in a number of different areas.
