Start your professional career

When you major in business administration, you can choose from several emphases to add depth and expertise in the area of your choice. Whether you’re interested in accounting, finance, marketing or organizational management, BC will prepare you for today’s business world.

Or major in economics. You’ll gain insight into government policy, banking, past and current theories of economics, and more. Add an emphasis in financial economics to go deeper into finance.

Whether you choose economics or business administration, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills to become a successful and ethical leader. You’ll apply what you study in case analyses, team projects and presentations, and experiential learning opportunities such as internships.

Students who major in business might also be interested in two of Bridgewater’s graduate programs, both of which can be completed in just one additional year: Master of Arts in Nonprofit Management or Master of Science in Human Resource Management.
