The curriculum of a BS in Business program typically consists of a core of basic concepts and more advanced courses tailored to an individual's choice of concentration. Specialization options include accounting, marketing or business administration. In some cases, students may be required to complete an internship.

It is important to note that similar programs may be offered under different titles, including a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). BS and BBA programs can commonly be completed in four years. Applicants must have at least a high school diploma or GED to enroll in either of these programs.
