The 3+1 BBA program is designed as a degree pathway for three groups of students
- Students who have completed three-year Bachelor’s degrees who want to attend our Master’s degree programs and need a fourth year.
- Students who have completed three-year diplomas with the equivalent of 90 credits.
- Students in four-year Bachelor’s degree programs who want to get a Bachelor’s degree from the U.S., and, in cases where we have cooperative agreements, earn degrees from both universities.
Courses may be taken on campus, online or any combination.
Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) requires a minimum of 30 credits to complete our Bachelor’s degree. Students who have at least 90 completed credits (of which 30 must be in Business) can complete their final year at SNHU and earn a Bachelor’s of Business Administration. The course requirements are very flexible and require at least five General Education courses including two English composition courses. This requirement may be waived for native speakers who have completed similar courses. All other English requirements must be fulfilled by providing TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE scores. Students needing further Intensive English will require additional course work. Another five courses must be in business. One required course will be Strategic Management along with four upper level Business classes which may be chosen from Accounting, Finance, Organizational Leadership, Marketing, Operations and Project Management, International Business and IT. Any prerequisites for these advanced level courses would have to be met as additional courses.
