Business professionals need a broad theoretical and practical education that prepares them for continuous learning and effective leadership. The business curriculum combines a broad general education and a strong business foundation with major required courses in a specific business discipline. Courses in the social and natural sciences, the humanities, and mathematics, as well as business, are emphasized during the first two years of study, which are devoted to the Tulsa curriculum and introductory business core courses. Work in the business core continues during the junior year, while the senior year provides an opportunity to concentrate in a particular business discipline.

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (B.S.B.A.) degree requires successful completion of 124 hours of coursework.
