The general business specialization leading to the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree is designed for those students planning to go into a family business, business for themselves, or seeking a specific major not available at BGSU, such as agribusiness or arts management. There are unlimited opportunities for people to go into business for themselves, either by purchasing a current business or starting a new one.
Graduates are able to choose the type of business and the geographical location for their venture.
Numerous franchise opportunities which offer assistance to the business owner are available. Such a venture takes some financial resources, but depending upon the type and size of business, these may be relatively modest. The resources of the College of Business Administration, BGSU's Career Services Office and the Jerome Library are available to students interested in job prospects in business administration. Advisers in the college help students utilize these resources. About half of the coursework required of the general business student meets the general requirements of BGSU and the College of Business Administration.
