Curriculum

Scholars Academy Courses

As part of the Scholars Academy, students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) have an opportunity to thrive in small, specialized courses just for these high-achieving students. The cohort courses utilize community engagement, guest speakers, case studies, research, and international travel to enhance the educational experience for students who want to be challenged within a close-knit community.

Scholars complete 18 credit hours of courses, along with an additional seminar course freshman year. The curriculum covers a variety of important and pertinent topics necessary for business leaders.

The purpose of this course is to provide students with an international business and cultural experience through a study tour in a selected international location.
