BBA Free Electives

  • Any course not specifically required for your degree
  • Any course except basic skills (such as Introductory Studies Math) or technical courses (designated by a “T” on your transcript)
  • Any course numbered 101-499 (offered or accepted by UNM)
  • Only one credit hour of PE-NP

On average, Anderson students need 24 hours of free electives. Additional management classes outside of those required for your concentration will count as free elective credit.

External Minor or Second BBA Concentration

We strongly encourage students to pursue an External Minor or a second BBA concentration:

  • A second concentration can help you focus your free elective credit hours and diversify your personal brand
  • A minor in Economics, Communications and Journalism, Psychology, Sociology, or a Foreign Language is a great supplement to your BBA
