Curriculum
The BBA curriculum requires a minimum total of 126 credit hours. Out of these 126 credit hours, 36
hours are courses under the University General Requirement in which 24 are compulsory and 12 are
electives. The compulsory courses are: FAS 100, FAS 101, FAS 102 or 109, FAS 103, FAS 130, FAS
230, FBA 103, FBA 104 and FES 150; three hours of Free Electives; and the other six hours could be
completed by taking any two of FAS 300, FAS 310 and FAS 320. Sixty of the total credit hours are
Faculty Requirement courses including six hours of internship (industrial training) where students are
required to complete after completing their third year of study program.
Students with one year of full time working experience are exempted from this internship. To
strengthen their business fundamentals, another 18 hours are designated as Program Requirement.
The final balance of 12 hours is allocated for a specialized area of business where students could
choose to either focus more on International Business or International Economics. These 12 credit
hours in the specialized area of business consist of nine hours of compulsory courses and three hours
of an elective course. In the near future, the Department is planning to offer additional areas of
specialization including Human Resource Management, Marketing and Finance. The following table
shows the courses according to the semesters they are offered.
