Program Overview

Built for Business. Designed for Leaders.

Our curriculum and our approach to teaching are characterized by a strong commitment to experiential learning, real-world examples, and business case analyses – all designed to provide students with the job-ready preparedness needed to meet the evolving and dynamic demands of today’s business organizations.

Your journey in our program will consist of foundational courses in each of the four “pillars” of business: accounting, management, marketing, and finance. You will also be able to choose from one of five concentrations:

Diversity and Human Resource Management

In this concentration, you will gain knowledge across a wide range of human resource functions –including workforce planning, recruiting and selection techniques, compensation management, performance management, and training and development. As well, while diversity, inclusion, and equity perspectives are embedded across the Business curriculum, the concentration allows students to delve much broader and deeper into these issues, which are becoming ever-more critical in today’s organizations.

Management and Leadership

The concentration prepares you to successfully manage and lead in today’s organizations. It focuses on developing a working knowledge of management and leadership principles necessary to manage an effective team and includes courses in organizational behavior, human resource management, and leadership.

Sport Business

This concentration prepares students for jobs in the professional sport industry. With the Las Vegas area being home to an ever-growing number of professional teams, the sports industry has established a much greater presence in the region than in the past. Students will study how the economic and financial structure of the industry is very different from most other industries, and how these differences impact managerial actions and business functions.

Marketing

The concentration prepares you for a range of marketing-related careers in product development, market research, advertising services, and promotional sales. Students will be exposed to a broad spectrum of marketing-related issues – why and when consumers buy, how to communicate with an audience, where to sell products, and how to price products. We provide a special focus on the rapidly-growing areas of social media marketing and big-data marketing analytics.

Financial Services

The concentration prepares you for a career in a variety of financial services organizations – banks, mortgage brokers, investment firms, insurance companies, real estate companies, and financial planners. Students learn the principles and techniques used to maximize financial returns, while simultaneously managing and controlling risk exposure.

Career Outlook

A Bachelor of Science in Business Administration provides students with a solid foundation in key business disciplines such as management, marketing, finance, and operations. Through real-world applications and strategic thinking, graduates are well-prepared for roles like business analyst, marketing manager, financial advisor, or operations coordinator.

Whether launching new ventures, optimizing organizational performance, or shaping business strategies, a Business BSBA equips students with the tools and insights to lead with confidence in today’s competitive global marketplace.
