The objective of the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program is to equip the students with sound foundation in business discipline and develop their academic knowledge and skill to pursue a career in business and management. The curriculum of the BBA program has been so designed with the cooperation of eminent and experienced academicians in the relevant field at home and abroad that after completion of the program the students will be able to become efficient administrators and managers in different areas.

Admission into the BBA program is on a competitive basis. Candidates are selected for admission on the basis of past academic records and written test. The applicants may also be required to face a viva examination for admission.

A student will have to complete 132 credit hours for a BBA degree out of which 75 credit hours consist of compulsory courses for all concentration areas, 15 credit hours from elective courses, 18 credit hours from major courses in each of the areas of Accounting, Finance, Banking and Insurance, Marketing, Management and MIS, while the remaining 24 credit hours are from a general inter-disciplinary body of knowledge. This general body of knowledge along with the major area of concentration will prepare a student to adjust to the reality of the contemporary world facing multi-dimensional problems and issues. Some courses are meant for moral uplift. A student must get a 'C' grade to pass an individual course.

Internship is a practical training meant for BBA. This gives the BBA students an exposure to the real world to make them effective managers in the corporate world. The duration of internship is a maximum period of 3 months. Students are assigned grades based on reports prepared by the students and performance reports about the students by the organizations where they were attached. Special projects or research works of high standards may be substituted for an internship, if so authorized by the relevant authority.

The maximum number of credit hours that a student must take per semester is 12 and the maximum is 18. This may be relaxed only with special permission of the appropriate authority at AUB.

Proficiency in English is essential to pursue the BBA program. Those who are admitted to BBA program will be required to submit documents about their level of proficiency in English. This requirement may be satisfied by a TOEFL score of at least 550 or equivalent in examinations such as ELTS or IELTS. For those students who cannot satisfy the above requirements, the University will organize an Intensive English Language Course in the first semester of their studies.
