Business Administration (BA/BS)

For more information, contact lcb.undergrad@uoregon.edu.

Students majoring in business administration learn to build their ideas into a small business—or a small business empire. Lead a Fortune 500 company. Market an NFL franchise. Realize financial goals. Take Wall Street (or Main Street) by storm. The Lundquist College of Business at the University of Oregon can take students where they want to go. Lundquist students are part of an intelligently informal community of thinkers and doers who are serious, determined, focused, and hands-on.

A degree in business administration is just part of the story. Students can pursue a general business focus or choose a concentration in accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, operations and business analytics, or sports business. They can also minor in business administration, entrepreneurship, sports business, or sustainable business. No matter which degree or concentration is chosen, the Lundquist College of Business provides a collaborative environment where students find ample opportunities to try out real-world projects and scenarios, giving them career experience before they even graduate.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

  • Be creative and analytical problem solvers.
  • Be effective communicators.
  • Effectively work in a multi-cultural professional environment.
  • Be skilled in leading and working successfully in diverse teams.
  • Identify and evaluate the ethical, legal and sustainability implications of business decisions.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in fundamental and concentration-specific business knowledge.
