The bachelor of science degree in general business administration is broad and encompasses many aspects of the business world to better prepare graduates for the future. At USF Polytechnic, this degree is designed to provide general knowledge in all business disciplines but allows students to tailor the program to fit their interests and gain more in-depth knowledge by selecting two concentrations. The concentrations available at USF Polytechnic are accounting, finance, management, and marketing.

Students prefer intimate class sizes where they can interact with their professor and classmates while gaining depth from the lecture topic through exchange and discussion. The learning environment throughout the program includes an accent on applied learning where students produce projects akin to real world work experiences. Assignments may include developing business plans for local area business owners, who welcome the USF Polytechnic student's perspective as they grow and manage their companies.

USF's College of Business is accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. AACSB International is the premiere accrediting agency for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs in business administration and accounting, and as such is the most widely recognized and sought-after endorsement of business schools. As of December 2007, AACSB International accredits 554 business and 168 accounting programs worldwide. Less than one-third of U.S. business school programs and only 15 percent of business school programs worldwide meet the rigorous standards for AACSB accreditation.
