Gifts to Enhancing Academic Excellence: Building Relevant Curriculum contribute to...

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is the largest undergraduate major at CSU Monterey Bay and a gateway to opportunity for hundreds of students each year. Many of our BSBA students are first-generation college students, transfer students, and working learners balancing school, employment, and family responsibilities.
Gifts to the Business Administration program support high-impact learning experiences that help students persist, graduate, and thrive. These include experiential projects, professional development opportunities, student travel to conferences and competitions, and resources that strengthen career readiness across concentrations such as management, marketing, and financial planning.
Your support allows the College of Business to respond to emerging student needs and workforce demands, ensuring that Business Administration graduates are not only technically prepared but also equipped to lead with ethics, resilience, and community engagement.
