Program Format

• Each concentration is a collection of five courses chosen from a variety of classes; these courses may be taken concurrently with the BBA/BSM core program or following completion of the core.

• For BSM students, the marketing, international business, finance, human resources and information systems areas of concentration include a total of 15 credit hours, 12 of which will be taken in addition to the coursework required for the BSM core program. To earn an accounting concentration, all 15 credit hours must be obtained outside of the BSM core program because the BSM core does not include an accounting course.
• For BBA students, the marketing, finance, information systems and accounting areas of concentration include a total of 15 credit hours, 12 of which will be taken in addition to the coursework required for the BBA core program. To earn a human resources or international business concentration, all 15 credit hours must be obtained outside of the BBA core program because the BBA core does not include an international business or human resources course.

• For BBL students, the marketing, finance, human resources, information systems and accounting areas of concentration include a total of 15 credit hours, 12 of which will be taken in addition to the coursework required for the BBL core program. To earn an international business concentration, all 15 credit hours must be obtained outside of the BBL core program because the BBL core does not include an international business course.
• Courses are administered completely online and last six weeks. They are scheduled on a term basis, six terms per calendar year (two each in spring, summer and fall).
• The requirements for the concentration will ensure that there is no meeting conflict with classes or learning teams already scheduled in the degree programs.
• Beginning with spring 2010, Baker is implementing online enrollment for the general education and elective courses as well as the concentration courses. Students will enroll exclusively online through their student portal.
