COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
MISSION STATEMENT
The College of Business Administration at California State University, Sacramento is the Capital region's educational institution of diversity that provides a strong foundation in business knowledge, skills, and values through collaboration among faculty, staff, and students in order to enrich their respective communities.
Undergraduate Program Description
The College of Business Administration (CBA) offers a broad, professional education in Business. The Bachelor of Science program offers students a choice of 12 concentrations by which they may focus their goals. All students must choose a concentration to complete their requirements for the baccalaureate degree. Students who are uncertain about which concentration to choose are encouraged to select the General Management concentration, as it is the most comprehensive. The structure of the General Management concentration also provides an overlap with other concentrations, thus making changes in focus possible. Students who wish a more customized program may elect to complete the requirements for additional concentrations as well. For example, students may elect dual concentrations such as General Management and Management of Human Resources and Organizational Behavior, or Accountancy and Management Information Systems.
