A degree in bachelors in Business Administration generally known as a BBA Degree is a unique undergraduate three-year course aimed at developing and nurturing managerial knowledge-based kills and critical aptitude within students with adherence to industry requirements and expectations. Many of colleges and Universities are offering the BBA programme as regular or distance learning education. Students can pursue this course full-time or distance mode. The value of full-time course is considered to be much more than over the distance mode.
In India, the accreditation body for BBA is AICTE (All India Council of Technical Education). There are different accreditation bodies in different countries.
The degree is designed to give a broad knowledge of the functional aspects of a company and their interconnection, while also allowing for specialization in areas such as finance, human resources, marketing, operations, entrepreneurship, systems, family managed business etc. B.B.A. programmes thus expose students to a variety of “core subjects” and generally allow students to specialize in a specific academic area during the final year of the course.
The degree develops the student’s practical, managerial and communication skills, business decision-making capability and business scenario planning over the continuance of the programme. Many such programmes incorporate in-house college based and industrial training and practical experience in the form of case studies and projects, presentations, internships, industrial visits, and interaction with experts from the industry both from within and outside the country. Many BBA programmes provide ample international exposure to students through international seminars and student exchange programmes that help to inculcate a global business perspective and learnings.
Many colleges also provide an entrepreneur incubation cell to nurture, direct and develop entrepreneurial projects that students have initiated by providing the necessary set-up, funds and mentorship from both academicians and industrialists. This enables students to gain practical experience of developing innovative products and services in real time and further the ability to relate self-initiated business projects with classroom learnings.
Thus students graduate with practical knowledge and skills that help them to set the highest possible standards at the workplace as they are then able to analyse business environments, develop robust business plans, work in teams and think up effective solutions to real problems.
