Fisher's BSBA degree provides a strong knowledge base in core functional areas of business and allows you to develop expertise in one of 12 specialized areas (the major).

There are two parts of the "major courses" that students will complete typically starting after their freshmen year.

• Business Core

All business students are required to complete a series of business core courses, regardless of specialization. Business core courses include managerial and financial accounting, finance, marketing, operations management, logistics management, organizational behavior, international business, business law, business statistics, business analytics, applied business skills, and strategic management.

• Specialization requirements

The number of credit hours required for the specialization varies from 15-26 depending on specialization. The number of semesters required to complete the specialization also varies, ranging from 2-5 semesters. You should check individual specialization requirements on the curriculum worksheet with your academic advisor to create a degree plan.

Electives are additional hours that students need to complete to fulfill 121 hours of coursework.

You can fill your elective hours by taking additional courses in any college level course.

You may also use your elective hours to pick up one of OSU's 100+ minors. Minors are great to expand your skill set, pursue interests outside of business, and individualize your education! The 4 year business plan allows room for a minor (typically 5 additional classes). Talk to your academic advisor about minor options.
