Focus Your Degree
As a business administration major, you'll choose between four emphases. You have the option to complete two emphasis areas, making you a better qualified job applicant for internships and post-graduate employment opportunities! The core coursework for these areas overlap with other majors offered in the Cofrin School of Business, so you could easily complete a double major by adding a few extra classes.

Your Degree
"I love all the emphases I can choose from. I was able to choose entrepreneurship because I love all the aspects of starting a business. It really helped me focus on taking classes that I found enjoyable and motivated me to go beyond my degree."
