 Return to: Degree Programs
Bachelor of Science
The Business Administration (BUAD) with Professional Tracks program is uniquely designed to facilitate transfer from unrelated AAS programs (whether at Ferris or other institutions) with maximum credit for prior academic work. In this, it is often seamless, and is far more successful than competing program sat minimizing the total credits ultimately required for graduation, without compromising the integrity of the business degree. For the student who wishes to combine an intensive course of study in a non-business field with a sound business foundation, this is the ideal solution. You will study under highly qualified faculty members who have combined their academic credentials with extensive work experience.
