It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

The engine that drives most economies, even in very large countries, is small business. What many students may not realize is that they are far more likely to wind up working in a small business rather than a large one. Students who are interested in business management may be interested in seeking a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration – Small Business. A bachelor’s degree in business with a focus on small business management could prepare students for a wide variety of employment areas, utilizing many skills, since small business managers by nature must be able to wear many hats.

Small business degree programs provide students with a solid foundation in financial management for small businesses, accounting practices, marketing, and business law. Most programs also offer a focused track within the small business management program that allows students to choose from topics such as entrepreneurship, business operations and logistics, or family business management. As a general rule, programs may require a minimum GPA and admission test scores, since the coursework can be rigorous and are highly focused on mathematical abilities. Many programs may also offer students the opportunity to complete a business internship with a partnered small business, earning credit while gaining valuable on the job small business experience.
