A Bachelor of Science in Business Studies/Small Business Management is a four-year degree program that highlights sound foundations in business practices along with skills that are needed in order to be successful in small business management and entrepreneurship.

They participate in hands-on projects that assist them in enhancing critical thinking skills, problem solving, and in practicing effective communication with peers and faculty.
