Business Administration
Approximately half of the students in the College of Business choose the four-year degree in Business Administration.
The business administration program at NSU allows the student to maximize flexibility in determining one's academic curriculum. One may choose from a variety of upper-level electives to accentuate studies in economics, finance, marketing, management, or any combination of these areas.
The business administration curriculum is also ideal to prepare students for the rigors of law school. Several law school courses, such as Business Entities, Employment Law, Constitutional Law, and Anti-trust, focus on the employment and managerial decisions of businesses.
