The Bachelor of Business Administration prepares students for a wide range of careers in public, private, and governmental organizations. Students will be introduced to all of the primary domains of business (accounting, finance, human resources, etc.) through a core business curriculum and this foundation prepares them for advanced study in their major area. The program's design frequently allows students to earn credentials in multiple domains while staying on-track for graduation in four years. 

Accounting

https://www.uwplatt.edu/program/accounting
The accounting major is designed to prepare students for careers in public accounting, industry, or governmental agencies. Completion of the program provides the academic preparation to pursue one or both of the primary professional certifications in accounting:

• Certified Management Accountant (CMA) - The Institute of Management Accountants' CMA credential demonstrates professional skill in converting accounting information into managerial insights and action. 
• Certified Public Accountant (CPA) - The American Institute of Certified Public Accounts' 150-credit rule to sit for the CPA exam creates a unique opportunity for accounting students at UW-Platteville. The School of Business offers an Integrated Bachelor's to Master's arrangement where students may begin taking graduate coursework in the latter portion of their program so that, upon approximately five years of coursework, students will graduate with a B.B.A. in Accounting, an M.S. in one of UW-Platteville's award-winning masters programs, and sufficient credits to sit for the CPA exam.  For additional information on the Integrated Bachelor's to Master's plans, please visit https://www.uwplatt.edu/accelerated-bachelors-masters-pathway.

Human Resource Management*

https://www.uwplatt.edu/program/human-resource-management
Organizations are made of people and those people regularly need to be paid, motivated, and trained. The HRM program prepares students to strategically utilize people as an organization's most valuable resource. 

Management**

https://www.uwplatt.edu/program/management
The management program provides maximum flexibility to tailor your studies to your specific needs. Students complete nine credits of management courses that are relevant to any field and then are permitted to choose nearly any course from the School of Business. The program is designed to accommodate the true generalist who wants some advanced coursework in a wide range of areas or the student who needs a hyper-specialized curriculum for a niche career path.

Marketing*

https://www.uwplatt.edu/program/marketing
Companies are increasingly concerned about providing a consistent and clear brand that resonates with customers. The marketing program prepares students to manage all aspects of an organization's customer-facing activity. 

Professional Sales

https://www.uwplatt.edu/program/professional-sales
Sales are the lifeblood of any organization. Sales students develop a highly-valued skill set that can contribute immediate value to employers. Students in the sales program will gain direct experience applying techniques and strategies that they've learned in their courses.

Supply Chain Management*

https://www.uwplatt.edu/program/supply-chain-management
Efficiency is the primary focus of supply chain management. SCM makes sure that everything coming into the company is efficiently used and that products going out meet quality standards and are delivered in a timely manner. Without effective SCM, company costs would skyrocket and your two-day shipping wouldn't be possible.
