Because a business administration degree can be applicable to so many industries and roles, there are many potential benefits. The following are three key benefits of a business administration degree.

  1. Broad understanding of how businesses operate:

    A business administration degree helps showcase your necessary understanding of how different areas of a business work together. Those areas can include finance, accounting, marketing, human resources, sales and more. Having the fundamental knowledge of how various functions within a business interconnect can help prepare you to lead cross-functional teams and take on a leadership role within an organization.

  2. Career growth opportunities:

    A business administration degree can prepare you to pursue employment in a growing field. For example, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of administrative services managers is projected to grow, on a national level, 6 percent from 2019 to 2029, which is faster than the average for all occupations.1

  3. Flexibility:

    A business administration degree can provide the flexibility to work for many different types of organizations, in a wide variety of roles. You are not locked into one career path, but rather have the option to explore new opportunities during your career as your interests evolve.
