What Is Business Administration?

Business administration studies how businesses are managed and supervised. Many students choose to major in business administration because it provides a broad background of skills you can apply to many different careers. Classes in business administration will explore fields such as accounting, economics, finance and business technology.

Business administration vs. business management

Business administration and business management both explore how businesses operate and cover the same basic subjects. However, whereas a business management degree tends to focus more on planning and organizational skills, a business administration degree provides a broader background and allows you to focus your studies in a specialized area of business.

“When I first started my Bachelor of Business Administration I chose to do it online because I was out-of-state. However, after moving to Fairbanks I decided to stick with the online format because it was more cost effective for a non-resident student, gave me more time flexibility and allowed me to learn at my own pace.
