Advising
All freshmen enter Mays majoring in Business Administration (BUAD). Lower-level business students (freshmen and sophomores) receive advising from Undergraduate Advising. They advise students which lower-level courses are needed to apply for upper division status and declare a major.
More Information
You will work with a team of dedicated advisors to build a degree plan that makes sense for you, your interests, and your goals. Your degree consists of three primary areas: core curriculum, business courses, and electives in your area of focus.
Areas of Focus
You will use 12-18 credit hours of your electives to create an “area of focus,” which is a group of courses concentrated in one specialty area. An area of focus is required to earn your BSB degree. You may pursue your area of focus through a minor, certificate, or a set of BSB-approved courses.
The examples here are not your only options. Any university-approved minor or certificate will be accepted. A unique set of courses will also be accepted if approved by the BSB program. Work with your advisor to select the best option for you.
Most students will pursue an area of focus outside of business. At this time, business‑related focus areas are limited to the minors in artificial intelligence in business and real estate, as well as the certificates in international business studies and internal audit.
Examples of Areas of Focus
Minor: Spanish
Minor: Economics
Minor: Communication
Certificate: International Business Studies
Minor and Certificate: Sport Management (Minor) and Professional Event Management (Certificate)
BSB-Approved Course: Nonprofit Management
BSB-Approved Course: Pre-Med
