Take four years of immersive and practical business education, pair it with a minor in your area of interest. Add an internship or two. Participate in on-campus clubs, such as Stiller Women in Business. Study abroad in Dublin, Montreal, or almost anywhere in the world. (Don't forget to add an internship while you're abroad.) Then join Stiller School alumni from around the world in making a difference through business.

In Champlain’s Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) program, you’ll choose a concentration to focus your studies. By gaining deep knowledge and experience in a specific area, you’ll tailor your professional background to better prepare you to reach your career goals.

Our career-focused education will give you a strong advantage when you graduate, whether you want to enter the workplace right away or head to graduate school.

  • 93% of our 2019 Stiller School of Business graduates are employed or continuing their education six months after graduation.
  • 100% of those employed are in positions relevant to their career goals.

Why Major In Business Administration at Champlain College?

  • Personalize your education with a meaningful concentration. Choose from one of these options:
    • Computer Science
    • Cybersecurity
    • Information Systems & Technology
    • International Business
    • Management
    • Sustainable Business
  • Our Upside-Down Curriculum lets you get into your major classes on day one. 
  • Learn what you are excited about—and what you aren't. By learning about the business world so early in your classes, you'll have more time to explore your career options and your interests, and change it up if you need to.
  • Work with real businesses, big and small. Class speakers, live client projects, and internships with Burlington-area companies—like Ben & Jerry's, Seventh Generation, Burton Snowboards, New Breed Marketing, Outdoor Gear Exchange, and Line Skis—are at your fingertips.
  • Choose a minor that complements your strengths and interests. We offer a wide range of minors in areas that are interesting and in-demand.
  • Learn power skills—not just technical skills. In the Stiller School, you will learn and practice the communication, interpersonal, team-building, organizational, and time-management skills that will power you to success.
  • Discover what inspires you and energizes you. Over your four years with the Stiller School, you will learn what really gives you energy and how you can incorporate that into a meaningful and fulfilling professional career.
