Finance (BBA)
In addition to providing students with an understanding of basic financial processes, the program also builds a strong foundation to pursue careers in corporate financial management, real estate investment, and banking.
B.B.A./Masters Five-Year Option
In the final two semesters before graduation, senior business majors who intend to continue with a College of Business and Health Administration Master’s degree, at the University of St. Francis, may take up to nine credit hours of graduate level HSAD, MBAD, MGMT, or TDEV courses to meet undergraduate requirements. The students will be required to complete the graduate level work in each class. Although these credit hours will remain on the student’s undergraduate transcript, these credit hours/course requirements will be considered as complete in the appropriate graduate program. Students who take a minimum of nine graduate level credit hours in their senior year are eligible to complete their master’s degree in one-year (attending full-time). Permission must be obtained from both the undergraduate and graduate business advisors to utilize this option.
National Honor Society
The undergraduate business programs provide students with the opportunity to be a member of Delta Mu Delta, an international honor society in business administration with a growing membership of 150,000. For membership, students must have completed over 60 credit hours and be in the top 20% of their class with a minimum cumulative 3.25/4.0 GPA.
