Through its unique emphasis on project courses designed
to supplement a rigorous business core curriculum, the
undergraduate business program helps prepare a new generation
of men and women who are qualified to develop
their own entrepreneurial entities or to lead the companies
and organizations of the future. The innovative “handson”
approach of the curriculum allows students to begin
working on “real world” problems from their first semester
onward rather than waiting until they graduate. This
innovative educational experience results in unique value
propositions for our students, faculty, and partners.
The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
(B.S.B.A.) not only offers specializations in marketing and
finance, but also allows students to go beyond these traditional
fields to select a specialization in any department, or
school, within IIT that approves the specialization. Such
specializations could include applied mathematics, chemistry,
construction management, information technology,
life sciences, logistics, material sciences, etc.
This distinctive program is designed to educate students to
deal with the problems of an increasingly complex business
environment. In conjunction with the IIT general education
requirement, with its focus on mathematics, computer
science, and natural sciences, the business curriculum
helps students gain practice of business administration and
preparation for the next economy.
The objectives of this program are to provide future business
owners, managers, and leaders with:
• A solid technological foundation for the new and emerging
business environment.
• A fundamental grounding in the core competencies of
business including accounting, economics, finance, marketing,
management, and social skills.
• An understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of
management in today’s complex businesses, which compete
in the global economy.
