 Return to: Programs by Department
The Business Administration BS program caters specifically to pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-OT, pre-law or other pre-professional students who desire a business emphasis that will benefit them in their chosen career.
This four-year degree includes the business core and courses required by the pre-professional program. Courses need to be selected in consultation with an advisor from the School of Business Administration and an advisor from the specific pre-professional program.
This program offers a Pre-Occupational Therapy (Pre-OT) concentration designed as a pre-professional interim degree for students pursuing a Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) degree at Andrews University through the “3+3” track. This degree with concentration prepares the pre-OT student with the prerequisite knowledge required for the OTD degree. Once accepted into the OTD program, the 3+3 track allows students to enter the professional OTD program before completion of the Business Administration BS with Pre-OT concentration. The 3+3 student’s senior (fourth) year is the first year of the OTD program. Students successfully completing these requirements qualify for the Business Administration BS degree upon completion of the first year of the OTD program.
Delivery
This program is offered both on-campus and in an interactive online asynchronous format (see Global Campus Definitions). The online degree does not require any on-campus time. Online students are encouraged to come on campus for graduation. The Pre-Occupational Therapy concentration is only offered on-campus.
