Program Overview
Strong leaders make things happen, but what makes a strong leader? JWU’s Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (B.S.B.A) in Management will show you how to bring a team together by communicating effectively to diverse audiences and situations, resolving issues with ethical business practices and effectively managing a team of any size.
While you’re here, you’ll compete in a global business simulation contest that ranks your team against teams from other universities worldwide. You’ll also have the chance to land an internship at a company in your field of interest to gain industry experience and enhance your résumé before you even graduate.
Management focuses on the human element of business, dealing with real people and how to bring them together for success. A highly versatile degree like this will allow you to pursue that type of work in any industry around the world.
