Bachelor of Business Administration

Business enterprises play a crucial role in the economic and social development of a country as these supply goods and services the society needs, contribute to national income and create employment for people. However, their survival, growth and prosperity depend upon their efficient administration. Business enterprises operate in a fast changing and competitive economic, social, political, technological and global environment. People involved in business administration, therefore, must have an understanding of the factors associated with these changes and the skills for successful operation of enterprises. Development of such understanding and skills require careful preparation through academic
pursuit and practical orientation in business.

Business administration is now a growing profession which builds on an ever-increasing body of social and scientific knowledge. The College of Business Administration (CBA) provides an opportunity for the promising young persons to develop their intellectual background and skills in business administration. It is also designed to meet the needs of the business community for competent executives and economic and social development of a nation.

The College of Business Administration is the first college organized under IUBAT and its programs of study include marketing, production-operations, finance and banking, management computer and information system, management, human resources and accounting.

  These objectives are translated through offering a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program as well as management development programs under the Centre for Management Development (CMD). Bachelor degree program of the College is based on a broad foundation of study outside the College. This foundation course work prepares the student for specialization through concentration in certain fields of business administration. Specialization in program of study is constructed around a core of courses in the functional areas of business. Master’s program in business administration is provided for advanced students with interests in careers in business, teaching or research. The College is also planning a doctoral program leading to Ph. D. degree through course and thesis work to prepare educators and researchers in business administration. The College  also participates in continuing and executive development education through the CMD.

The CBA is organized into 7 departments which offer specialization in different degree programs.
These departments are:
1. Department of Marketing
2. Department of Production Operations
3. Department of Finance and Banking
4. Department of Management and Information
System
5. Department of Human Resources Management
6. Department of Management
7. Department of Accounting
The faculty composition of CBA reflects these specializations, while general education courses are conducted by relevant departments of the university. Transfer of credit at the Bachelor level is possible
in North American, Australian, and European universities. However, mid-course en-block transfer arrangements for overseas degrees at the BBA level have been completed with some universities abroad, details of which are available with International Office of the university. Transfer credit as well as the degree is eligible for higher studies in any university of the world.
