Business at BSC blends the study of business administration with the in-depth learning of a liberal arts education. Students learn to think critically, write effectively, and give a persuasive presentation – all tools they'll need to start their own business or climb the corporate ladder.

"Our community and state are fortunate to have Birmingham-Southern College's leadership in offering opportunities for tomorrow's leaders." - Wayne Hutchens '89 MPPM, President of AT&T Alabama

“Birmingham-Southern is the best thing that ever happened to me as far as business goes. The liberal arts education fostered a way to think out of the box. It didn’t necessarily prepare me for one career or another — I know I can do anything right now.” — Dewar Gaines ’14, Business Administration, Owner/Operator of Gaines Family Farmstead, which produces premium sweet potato dog treats; CEO of Abracadabra Health, creator of the Throw Like a Pro app

“In 2014, President Gen. Charles C. Krulak called me personally to tell me about the scholarships I had earned, and that I had achieved the greatest dream I had had by then. I came to BSC from Bulgaria, and my scholarships have helped make that possible.” — Mirella Dankova ’18, Accounting

“I love BSC and am so thankful for the experience I had there. I obtained an academic scholarship to allow me to go to BSC. I learned so much about myself during my years there. I was able to measure myself against some of the brightest young people I've ever been around. It was a humbling but wonderful experience. Dr. Rick Lester's tests were incredibly tough, but I loved it all. I learned the most about myself in his classes. I try to be the best me every day and community involvement is important. BSC really changed me. Every time I am in a stressful situation I think of how my school would want me to handle it.” – Cliff Poe ’17, Business Administration
