Accelerated Bachelor of Business Administration (A-BBA)
The Accelerated Bachelor of Business Administration (A-BBA) is a living-learning community housed in Allyn Hall. A-BBA is designed for business majors in order to make our large university more “individualized”. The A-BBA curriculum will allow completion of the Bachelor of Business Administration in three years or less (depending on the amount and nature of post secondary work completed as a high school student.) There will be opportunities to work with faculty on research projects and to be mentored by faculty and/or business partners. Students will take classes together, live in the same residence hall (unless they commute), have quick access to advising or problem solving, and will make immediate connections with faculty, administration, business professionals and peers. A-BBA connects you to the business world.
