Bachelor of Science in Business Administration: Concentration in Decision Sciences
The Decision Sciences Department offers a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree with a Decision Sciences concentration. A minor in Decision Sciences is also offered.
For a complete description of the program, see Bulletin: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration: Concentration in Decision Sciences.
Minor in Decision Sciences
This program is designed to provide undergraduates with a focused exposure to a particular area of business practice rather than the broad exposure of the General Business Minor. As such, they can provide professional and technical skills needed for entry into specialized business employment for non-business majors or serve as an alternative to a double major for business majors wishing expertise in a second field.
For more information, see Bulletin: Minor in Decision Sciences.
