San Francisco State University College of Business

The San Francisco State University College of Business aims to be a leading institution of business education in the San Francisco Bay Area, with an emphasis on preparing students to succeed in an economy that is global in nature. An integrated business education with strong ties to Asia Pacific and businesses operating in that region will train students to manage effectively across cultures and business environments anywhere in the world.

SF State’s students, faculty and curriculum reflect the diversity of Bay Area residents and its business environment. Over 80% of domestic graduates remain in the area, fueling the future of Bay Area businesses, many of which have extensive international operations. SF State has long enjoyed a strong reputation as an institution with a core value of social justice and two of the university’s six goals focus on diversity and “internationalization”, and these values are reflected in the business curriculum as well.

The College of Business offers a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA), offering eight concentrations in areas such as finance, accounting, decision sciences, marketing, management, information systems, international business and entrepreneurship. In addition, the College offers a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality and Tourism Management (BSHM) degree, and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. The college also offers a program in Labor and Employment Studies. Emphasis is placed on business ethics and sustainability throughout the curriculums.
