Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
Business administration at Carnegie Mellon is a leader at the intersection of business, technology, and analytics. This emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration offers a dynamic 21st-century undergraduate business education.
The Carnegie Mellon curriculum emphasizes an analytical approach to decision-making in business. As they build a solid quantitative foundation, students learn to work with data and apply their analyses to real-world scenarios.

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration curriculum builds foundational knowledge in the core areas of business, including marketing, finance, organizational behavior and operations management, as well as economics, mathematics, and statistics. Concentration areas allow students to delve into their choice of specific business areas. Students develop breadth and context through a required minor and general education coursework.
The first year of the curriculum builds a foundation of skills for analysis, communication, and context through courses in business science, economics, quantitative skills development, and the liberal arts.
The next two years develop the core competencies, as students delve into a focus area and select a minor. The last year is for in-depth study in the focus area and completing the minor requirement.
The classroom education is brought to life through a variety of projects, project courses, internships, and leadership development. Students learn how to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned, giving them the confidence to begin and develop their careers over a lifetime.
