Learn to make things happen.
Organizations seek leaders who can use their knowledge of the market to enable innovation. From corporate managers to small business owners, these pioneers fuel opportunities and reinvent industries — changing the world for the better.
Florida Southern's Bachelor of Science in Business Administration prepares you to tackle today's most pressing business challenges by preparing you with the skills needed to manage a company's assets — properties, people, and financial resources — to contribute to its bottom line.
By engaging in hands-on, real-world experiences, you'll delve into essential business topics such as accounting, data analytics, ethics, finance, and law, cultivating an understanding of how organizations run at every level. You'll also develop the analytical skills to make data-informed business decisions, communications expertise to present those decisions effectively, and leadership abilities that will open a wide range of job possibilities.
