About the program

What you'll
study

This program is designed to prepare students for a successful career in the modern business world.

Coursework moves from the foundations — accounting, economics, marketing — into strategy, finance and leadership, with the analytical habits that let graduates read a business situation and act on it.

Because it is taught in English at the San Marcos campus, graduates leave with a second working language alongside the degree.

Who it's for

Students who want a broad, internationally portable business degree and expect to lead teams or start something of their own.
