<p>I actually have two- is it a B.A. in business or B.S.? </p>
<p>And also, would I have to go through actual business school to earn a Business Administration Degree?</p>
<p>If you are enrolled in an actual undergraduate business school, then it will be a B.S. in business. But some universities that have an undergrad. business college and an undergrad. college of liberal arts and sciences offer business majors through their liberal arts & sciences college, which will be a B.A. in business. For example, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign offers a major in Finance through its college of business and the college of liberal arts and sciences (LAS). You get a B.A. in finance through LAS and B.S. in finance through the college of business. </p>
<p>If you're specifically interested in Business Administration, then that major will almost always only be offered through an undergrad. business school and you will be getting a B.S. in business administration. For your undergraduate degree you don't have to go through a business school to eventually get a degree in business administration. You can major in something besides business for you undergraduate degree and then later on you can get an MBA. </p>
<p>But if you're looking to get a degree in business administration for your undergraduate degree, then yes you will have to go through an undergraduate business school. I hope this helps. I have a feeling that I what said might be confusing. Let me know if you need any clarification.</p>
<p>most schools work like this: 2 years at the main college, then go on to the undergraduate/graduate business school.</p>
<p>Actually, some schools have B.B.A's (bachelor's in business administration).</p>
<p>Well, thanks for the helpful information. I'll make sure and make a note of what you guys passed. This is helpful to someone behind on there degree.</p>
<p>To add on, a BA in business (or usually econ) means that there's more of a focus on the abstract, theoretical side, while a BS focuses on the practical side of business. (straight from a college admissions officer)</p>
<p>does uiuc offer a BA in finance in their school of science and liberal arts?!</p>
<p>Yeah, UIUC does offer a BA in finance through its college of liberal arts and sciences.</p>
