Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (BABA)

Business Home | History & Overview | Policies/Procedures | Degree Requirements | Programs | Organizations

The Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (BABA) affords students the opportunity to design a program of study that combines the fundamentals of business with an area of specialization other than business. Students who complete this program will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration degree with a major of Business Administration General Studies.

Area of Specialization Requirements

Areas of specialization are listed immediately following the description of the BABA program of study. There is a minimum requirement of 4 courses/12 credits (3000-4000 level) for each area. Approved courses for each area are available in the Undergraduate Programs Office in 100 Stuzin Hall and online at

www.cba.ufl.edu/upo/Programs/babaspecializations.asp.

Students in the BABA program are also required to take 12 hours of 3000-4000 level business courses beyond the core. These courses must be taken through the University of Florida. BABA students may utilize one online BSBA Professional Development Course to fulfill part of this requirement. BABA students are encouraged to complete one of the following professional development experiences: an internship, a study abroad program, the University Scholars Program, McNair Scholars Achievement Program, extracurricular leadership experiences (e.g. philanthropic organizations, student organizations), or an honors thesis. Students should consult with an academic adviser for specific information.
