What Is a BBA?

Business is bigger than one job.

A business brings together people, money, customers, markets, technology, operations, information, and decisions.

Studying Business Administration helps you understand how those pieces connect. Instead of learning only one side of business from the beginning, you build a broader perspective — then use your concentration to go deeper into the area that interests you most.

One Degree. Your Direction.

Build your foundation. Discover your interests. Go deeper.

Whichever path you choose, learn to see the whole business.

Beyond Business Theory

Business makes more sense when you have to make decisions with it.

The BBA connects business knowledge with practical situations, decision-making, and entrepreneurship.

Students also have opportunities to connect academic learning with professional experience, bringing ideas from the classroom into situations where choices, communication, and business judgment matter.

Learn the concepts. Ask what they mean. Decide what you would do.

Your BBA. Your Direction.

Go deeper in one area. Keep the bigger business picture.

Your concentration gives you a clearer area of focus, while the BBA helps you understand the wider business decisions and functions around it.

One student may become more interested in financial information. Another may want to understand investment, technology, international markets, organizations, or customers. Your concentration helps you explore that direction without losing the broader business foundation around it.

Explore one area without losing sight of the whole business.

Questions

Still figuring out your business path?

What is a concentration?

A concentration is the area of Business Administration in which you go deeper. At MEU, the degree is the Bachelor of Business Administration, and you select a concentration such as Accounting, Finance and Banking, Information Systems, International Business, Management, or Marketing.

Do all six concentrations lead to the same degree?

Yes. They are concentrations within the Bachelor of Business Administration. Your concentration identifies the area of business in which you develop a more focused academic direction.

How is the BBA different from the concentration?

Think of the BBA as the wider business education. It helps you understand different parts of a business and how they connect. Your concentration is the area you explore more deeply within that degree.

What if I am not sure which concentration is right for me?

Start with the topics and questions that interest you most. Compare the concentration pages, see what each path focuses on, and talk to Admissions or an academic advisor if you want help understanding the differences.

Is BBA Information Systems the same as the BS in Information Systems?

No. BBA Information Systems is a concentration inside the Bachelor of Business Administration. It starts with a broader business foundation and uses Information Systems as the area of specialization. The BS in Information Systems is a separate, more technology-focused degree with more of its curriculum dedicated to programming, systems development, security, and other technical Information Systems areas.
