BASE: Business Administration Summer Experience
The Business Administration Summer Experience minor is a new opportunity for non-business students to earn a minor in Business Administration through the Hankamer School of Business. Beginning in Summer 2025, non-business students can complete an entire minor through one summer-long, in-person experience. No program fees required to participate.
While the Hankamer School of Business will continue to offer the traditional 18-hour Business Administration minor (which students can complete throughout their academic career), BASE is an opportunity to cover the same disciplines in an integrated, cohort-based, in-person experience completed in 15 hours. Included in the experience will be “Foundational Fridays” covering important content in data analytics, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, professional development, and career networking.
Key highlights of the program:
- Condensed approach: 15 hours across the May-minimester, Summer I, and Summer II
- Face-to-face offerings with faculty in an integrated framework
- Cohort structure encourages unity, teamwork possibilities, and more engaged learning
- Unique required offerings called Foundational Fridays
- Events to promote camaraderie, engagement with faculty
- Professional development sessions and engagement opportunities (with the Career Center)
- Company visits and guest speakers
- Development of key skills, including:
- Leadership and communication
- Critical thinking and problem solving
- Data analytics
- Professional presence
- Financial literacy development
Curriculum Plan for BASE:
- May minimester: Economics (ECO 1313)*.
- Summer I: Accounting (ACC 2313), Management (MGT 3313)
- Summer II: Marketing (MKT 3313), Finance (FIN 3313)
*Students may utilize ECO 1305, ECO 2306, ECO 2307 towards the ECO 1313 requirement if completed prior to beginning the BASE program. No other BASE course can be completed through other credits.
