BBA in Business Administration

  • 4 Years |  Full-time

The SKEMA Undergraduate Business Administration with an Emphasis on Management in Global Business course is a four-year program recognized by the MEC, the French Ministry of Education and the state of North Carolina (USA). More than training bachelors in Business Administration, it prepares students to act and succeed in the context of markets and the global economy.

With seven fully integrated campuses around the world (three in Europe – France, one in Asia – China, one in South America – Brazil, one in North America – United States and one in Africa – South Africa), SKEMA enables international training. No other business school offers such an incredible immersive and multicultural experience.

The Business Administration course, which is unique in Brazil, offers students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local market with global business learning, perspective and language, thus serving as a driver for a competitive professional career and for the continuity of a solid academic life.

Innovative, multicultural and global schools know that the educational formative process is more complex than was believed a few years ago. Therefore, SKEMA has a work area that is fully dedicated to supporting the construction of the life and career journey of our students.

The Careers Center is responsible for monitoring the transformation of the freshman student into a professional. We take care, for example, of the insertion of these young professionals in the job market so that they take into account their own goals, which are often forgotten during this journey. It is essential that the student manages to make their dreams and projects tangible in the form of competences and an insertion in the world of work in a more conscious and mature way.
