Set Your Résumé Apart
A business administration major offers a unique blend of flexibility and breadth, allowing students to tailor their education to their individual interests and career goals. By requiring another major, minor, or certificate, it encourages students to explore disciplines beyond the business core, enriching their academic experience and broadening their perspectives. This interdisciplinary approach not only enhances their understanding of business concepts but also equips them with diverse skills and knowledge, making them versatile professionals in the workforce.
Whether you are interested in technology, creative arts, sciences, or the humanities, business administration students can create a customized educational path that aligns with both their passions and the dynamic demands of the business world. Because of the broad-based nature of the program, graduates can go on to pursue a variety of careers, including arts administration, advertising, sales, marketing, hotel management, restaurant management and retail.

The business administration program offers countless opportunities for you to grow, whether it's through an internship, student organizations, study abroad, competitions or projects that better the community.

Blugold Stories
As a Business Administration major, I learned about all aspects of business — from accounting, to finance, to marketing — and the role of each department. This has helped me better understand how a professional sports team operates on a day-to-day basis and the importance of every team member. I am now working as the Ticket Sales and Service Coordinator for the Minnesota Twins.
UW-Eau Claire is where I gained the confidence to travel the world and really started to understand that I am capable of doing great things. This experience transformed my life and allowed me to have two amazing internships, multiple management roles, and gave me the opportunity to accept a full-time job before graduation.
