The Bachelor of Business Administration is a creative and flexible program of study in commerce and business. Students obtain a broad understanding of the business disciplines and may choose major sequences of study from business domains such as banking and financial services, business management, international business and marketing. Six open electives may be taken in a business or non-business-related area, and students may consider minors in the humanities to extend their appreciation of the wider social, environmental and political dimensions of business and commerce.

The aim of the program is to develop well-rounded business professionals who are equipped to solve problems within a multi-disciplinary business environment. Graduates will also have a high level of generic attributes and skills, consistent with the expectations of the University and the wider professional community.

This course allows students commencing standard full-time study in Semester 1 (together with part- time students) to select an optional ‘open major’ from a broad range of areas within the University. Further information open majors and how to include these in this course can be found at http://www.canberra.edu.au/faculties/business/attachments/pdf/Open-Major-Sequences-2012.pdf
