![[ Some Image ]](/images/main/aacsb_seal_blue.jpg)
In contrast to the B.B.A., the B.S. program is for those students with an A.S. transfer program in business from a two-year college, or a broad background in the arts and sciences, or for entering freshmen who wish to study business. It requires the same core of business courses as the B.B.A., program. In general, a student in the B.S. program has a broader education in content, whereas the B.B.A. student specializes. One is better than the other only in the context of the student's individual personal and career objectives. A student with an A.A.S. degree may also pursue the B.S. program, but this may entail more coursework than required for a B.B.A degree.
Course Requirements
The program is designed primarily for the student who has either an
Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree or an Associate in Science (A.S.)
degree or entering freshmen who meet SUNYIT's admissions criteria.
