Overview

What to expect from studying this Business Administration program

We’ll teach you how to make strategic business decisions by adapting to changes in the organizational environment and using sophisticated analytical techniques. We'll do this in a variety of ways. First, we've created a diverse environment. Your classmates will vary in age, backgrounds, and nationalities, and they'll bring different perspectives and present a broad spectrum of business problems. Second, you'll have access to executives in Birmingham's central business district, the epicenter of entrepreneurship and innovation in Alabama.

Finally, we've made our program flexible to fit your needs. You can take our entire curriculum either online or on campus, and we offer both one- and two-year-plans of study. Best of all, you can coordinate your degree with the UAB schools of Engineering, Dentistry, Medicine, Public Health, Optometry, or Health Professions.
