Major in Business Administration

Typical Unit Distribution

Transfer students may complete core requirements with fewer than 40 units; additional business electives must then be taken to complete the 55 unit major requirement. At least 28 units of the major including a minimum of 3 courses in the concentration (with the exception of the special concentration), must be completed at SSU.

Upper-Division Business Core

All business students must complete these core requirements (coursework in the selected area of concentration usually may be taken concurrently):

  • BUS 316 Production/Operations Management (4 units)
  • BUS 319 Management Information Systems (4 units)
    or BUS 334* Accounting Information Systems
  • BUS 344 Organizational Behavior (4 units)
  • BUS 360 Introduction to Marketing (4 units)
  • BUS 370 Introduction to Managerial Finance (4 units)
  • BUS 491** Seminar in Management Strategy and Policy (4 units)

* students wishing an accounting concentration are recommended to take BUS 334.
** BUS 491, Seminar in Management Strategy and Policy, is the capstone course in the business administration major designed to be taken in the student’s final semester. Prerequisite: all other core courses, a passing score on the WEPT, and application for award of degree.

Electives in Major

If students need additional units in the major beyond the core and concentration to complete the 55-unit requirement for the program, they may elect to take additional coursework from their own or another area of concentration or from other approved courses offered within the business curriculum, such as BUS 292, 295, 296, 385, 388, 466, 495, and 499. It is recommended that students familiarize themselves with the major requirements as stated in this catalog and consult with a faculty advisor prior to choosing elective courses intended to meet major requirements.
