Bachelor of Science in Business Administration

Carnegie Mellon’s undergraduate Business Administration program has earned global recognition for its approach to the study of business management as a science. More than 50 years ago, CMU developed management science, which involves analytical decision-making in complex business environments. Today, nearly all leading business schools include some form of the Carnegie Mellon model in their curricula.

The Business Administration program emphasizes a quantitative, analytical approach, training students in accounting, finance, economics, marketing, operations, management information systems and business communications. Problem-solving is developed in a series of mathematics courses, including calculus, statistics and forecasting. At the same time, liberal arts electives provide a balanced, well-rounded education.

Most business administration students opt for internships during their undergraduate years. Internships provide an invaluable opportunity for students to apply the skills they have learned in the classroom.
