BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Graduation Requirements
A student will have to complete 132 credit hours for a BBA degree with Honors, out of which 90 credit hours will be from the core courses while the remaining courses will be from a general inter-disciplinary body of knowledge. This general body of knowledge alone, with the major area of concentration, will prepare a student to adjust to the reality of the contemporary world facing multi-dimensional problems and issues. Some courses are meant for moral upliftment. A student must get a C grade to pass an individual course.
If a student is unable to complete 132 credit hours to obtain a BBA Honors degree for whatever reasons, he/she can opt for a Pass degree provided he/she successfully completes 75 credit hours covering subjects of at least 3 disciplines, i.e. the major subject and two inter-disciplinary subjects.
Internship
Internship is practical training meant for BBA. This gives the BBA students an exposure to the real world to make them effective managers of the corporate world. The period of internship is 3 months while students are assigned grades based on written reports by the students and reports on the students by the organization where they are attached. Special projects or research work of high standard may be substituted for an internship if so authorized by the relevant coordinator and department.
Workload and Duration
Normal workload of a student is 15 credit hours per semester. If a student enrolls for two semesters a year with this workload, he/she would need 4 years to complete a BBA program. However, if a student chooses to register for three semesters every year with 15 credit hours in each semester, he/she will need less than 3 years to complete a BBA degree. Thus it is expected that a student will normally complete a BBA degree in 3 to 4 years time, depending on his/her workload and seriousness.
The minimum number of credit hours that a student must take per semester is 12 and the maximum is 15. This may be relaxed only with special permission of appropriate AUB authorities.
