WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE B.S. AND THE B.A. IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEGREES?
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (BSBA)
The UF Online Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree has a curriculum focused fully on business disciplines. The BSBA degree with a major in General Business consists of a broad range of courses designed to master the technical and practical facets of a business career.
A BSBA will give you a strong foundation in a variety of business disciplines. Students take introductory courses in accounting and economics as well as core courses in areas ranging from business law and international business to finance, management and marketing. Additional courses in more specific disciplines such as entrepreneurship and real estate are included, as are professional development courses in business communication, career management and business computing.
BACHELOR OF ARTS IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (BABA)
The UF Online Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration allows students to establish a firm foundation in business principles and then pair it with an additional skill set in a specialized area.
Our new BABA degree is interdisciplinary in nature and provides students with the ability to take a deeper dive in an area outside of business. By providing a foundation in business and the choice of a specialized focus, the BABA degree allows greater flexibility to customize your education to match your individual goals and interests.
Once the core business foundation is set, students can then choose from one of the following eight specializations:
Anthropology
Business and Economic Geography
Educational Studies
General Business
Geology
Mass Communication
Sociology
Sport Management
