Program Objectives

The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) is designed by the University of Information Technology & Sciences (UITS) to offer an internationally recognized degree at undergraduate level that will help prepare potential accounting professionals, business executives, entrepreneurs and academics. The program is rigorous with an emphasis on practicalities and skills for immediate use, which offers students a comprehensive education in all major facets of business.

UITS is more of a “learning institution” than a mere “teaching institution”. It is not a “teaching shop”; obviously the focus is more on gaining knowledge than mere skills. The faculty are individuals who are deep researchers qualified to write and critique contemporary textbooks in the area they reach; obviously they do not teach to a “fixed syllabus”. They “design” the courses taking into account current trends and the student background so as to blend what is collectively taught across different courses into a cohesive body of knowledge that prepares the students not just for today but to take on the developments that are likely to take place years ahead. What is laid in the courses is a solid foundation that prepares the individual student to pursue academic or industrial career with rigor and innovation. The lectures are supplemented by several laboratory sessions, tutorials, self-reading (both individually and in groups), and projects. It is not sufficient to pick up what is taught in the class or written in the textbooks; it is important to understand, assimilate and demonstrate the individual and collective ability to apply the knowledge to a research/application environment. This is what sets apart UITS from the rest of the institutions. . Thus, this specialized BBA Program of UITS seeks to:

To produce entrepreneurs, business leaders and managers prepared with the skills of and competencies in analytical thinking, problem solving, strategic decision making, understanding and responding to market changes, and identifying and acting upon opportunities.
To provide the state of the art knowledge about the whole gamut of modern business including IT and e-commerce.
To train students from a managerial perspective to be innovative and entrepreneurial in business/industries and human resources development.
To produce socially responsible, morally upright and ethical entrepreneurs, business leaders and managers.
