Business Administration

Broaden your business knowledge

Do you have a passion for business, but not sure which area to specialise in? Do you want to ensure you stay flexible enough to respond to the current job market? If so, we have the ideal degree for you.

The Bachelor of Business Administration provides you with a general business education, allowing you to study up to four minor specialisations (four courses (subjects) each), with the option to include electives from across the University’s offering, depending on your particular interests.

The Bachelor of Business Administration is a popular degree internationally, particularly in the United States, but USQ is one of the few Australian universities to offer the degree.

You can choose from a large selection of business minors with the option to study a minor or electives from other areas, such as Psychology or Public Relations, with prior permission.
