Queens College offers students the opportunity to pursue a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree. The BBA provides a solid business education that responds to the demand of employers for specific quantitative and technological competencies. Data analysis and spreadsheet modeling play a central role in our integrated curriculum. Teamwork and group projects are also critical ingredients that help ensure that graduates have sufficient practice in communicating ideas so they will appear both polished and poised. The strong liberal arts courses at the college help build the foundation of character needed for graduates to respond ethically to the pressures of business life.
The BBA programs give students a firm foundation for success in today’s highly competitive global business environment, as well as for success in graduate study in business and other areas, such as law. Students are trained not just in narrowly defined “business” disciplines. Instead, they learn to communicate both orally and in writing; they are prepared to take advantage of developing technology; and educated to deal with an increasingly integrated world. This means understanding the development of regional economies, such as the European Union and Eastern Europe and the economies of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It means understanding the relationship between the developed and the developing worlds. It also means understanding the impact of economic and demographic diversity on business and markets.
Requirements
http://www.nysed.gov/college-university-evaluation/department-expectations-curriculum
No more than two courses in any discipline or interdisciplinary field. Students who entered Queens College in the Fall 2013 semester or later must satisfy a set of General Education requirements called Pathways. The Pathways framework has three parts: the Required Core, the Flexible Core, and the College Option. While the Required Core and Flexible Core are common to all CUNY colleges, the College Option is required only at the senior colleges, including Queens. College Option requirements are structured differently from senior college to senior college. It is possible to transfer college option credits previously completed at another CUNY senior college to QC, but once you enroll at Queens, all your remaining College Option credits must be completed by taking designated courses in residence at Queens College.
Some courses can be used to satisfy one of several different Pathways requirements, but taking a single course will never satisfy more than a single Pathways requirement. The Academic Advising Center (Kiely 217) will help you make sure that the courses you take get assigned to the various Pathways requirements in an optimal way.
As part of your general education requirements you must also complete two Writing Intensive courses (courses with a “W” in their course number), which may overlap with courses taken for Pathways or Major requirements. To avoid the need to take extra courses, students should plan their course of study at Queens College in a way that maximizes this overlap. Students who transfer from institutions that do not indicate writing-intensive courses on the transcript should make sure they receive credit for having completed the proper number of W courses. Contact the Advising Center (Kiely 217) if there are problems.
Students may apply to any of the business majors upon completion of ACCT 101 and 102, and ECON 101 and 102, each with a grade of C– or better, and with an average in those courses of B– (2.7) or better. Due to the high demand for the BBA program, students are likely to need an average of a B+ (3.3) or better in those four courses in order to be admitted to the program. Transfer students may apply to the business majors if they have completed the equivalent courses at their original institution and can demonstrate that they have met the grade requirement. No more than 21 transferred credits may be applied toward the requirements for the chosen concentration (business fundamentals and concentration courses). A grade of C– or better must be earned in any transferred courses.
