Business Administration Major

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.

• 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.

Build Your Own Business

Bring your business or build it while you are at Champlain! You shouldn't have to wait until after graduation to pursue your goals. If you already have a business that you want to grow—or you're inspired to launch your first business while still a student—our one-of-a-kind Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship is here for you. No matter what stage your business is in, our faculty can help you take it to the next level.

Intern In Asia Through a Grant Exclusively for Stiller School Students

Over the past seven years, the Robert P. Stiller School of Business has received a prestigious grant from the Freeman Foundation that has allowed more than 100 students to travel to various countries in Asia for summer internships. Shanghai, China, has been the primary destination, and a new partnership has opened up opportunities in Kyoto, Japan. 

This opportunity provides our students with the chance to gain both international and professional work experience—along with valuable cultural and language skills—with little out-of-pocket expense.
