BSBA vs. BBA Degree — What’s the Difference?

When considering which undergraduate business degree to pursue, it’s important to know the details of each program. The differences between a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) and a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) are significant in skillset and scope.

• The BBA degree places an emphasis on liberal arts studies, providing students with a general overview of business, economics, finance, and marketing. This generalized foundation means the degree can be applied to a wider range of career paths.
• The BSBA degree places an emphasis on STEM courses in order to develop a more analytical skillset, allowing students to focus on a specific discipline. This degree works well for students seeking a more specialized career path.
