The Business Administration program is administered by the Department of Management, Marketing and Business Administration within the College of Business and Public Affairs at Murray State University.  The first two years of study consist mainly of a basic framework of courses, such as English,  Mathematics, and some introductory business classes (Economics and Accounting), while the following two years mainly consist of specialized courses in the various fields of business, including finance, management, marketing, statistics, computers, business ethics and law. The Business Administration Area in the Bachelor of Science in Business degree program prepares students for a variety of career opportunities with a broad and overall understanding of the functional disciplines of business. This prepares graduates to be successful in middle- and upper-level management positions in small, medium, and large business organizations. 

Murray State University offers this program online in cooperation with KCTCS and KYVU. Students who complete their Associate of Arts in Business through KCTCS can transfer these credits directly to the MSU Bachelor of Science in Business degree. Typically, students take transition courses on-line in addition to their Associate of Arts through KCTCS either before or while taking Murray State on-line business courses. These transition courses are necessary to meet the 128 hour Bachelors degree requirements at Murray State.  For more information about this program, click here.
