Undeclared business is a B.S.B.A. concentration option for incoming students who are uncertain of which major in the School of Business they would like to pursue.

Program Overview
The 45-credit program allows students to explore more than one business discipline by taking a broad spectrum of informative business courses. Students learn about available careers while assessing their own goals, aspirations and strengths. The flexibility of the undeclared business option, combined with the supportive academic environment of the School of Business, provides students with the necessary framework to choose the business concentration that best fits their interests and skills.

While in the Undeclared Business program, students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor, join various business-related organizations and attend networking conferences. Students in this program receive a solid foundation in business theory and practice while gaining effective communications skills. The curriculum is also designed to refine and develop interpersonal and analytical skills to help students achieve their career goals in a competitive job market.

Students are required to complete the 45-credit hour curriculum with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 in order to be accepted into a concentration within the School of Business. An additional 81 credits in the chosen major will be required for graduation.
