Programs

The LKC SOB is largely an undergraduate school, with a large majority of students enrolled in the undergraduate programs. The program is modelled after the Wharton School's curriculum to provide a broad-based approach to university education. At the undergraduate level, the school offers the Bachelor of Business Management (B.B.M.), a 4-year program with academic majors in the areas of Finance, Law, Management, Marketing and Operations Management. Undergraduates who major in Law are not admitted to the Bar, as the program is not a specialized law degree. All undergraduates are eligible for a 2nd major, which can be from other schools at SMU. This includes areas such as Accountancy, Economics, Information Systems Management and fields within the Social Sciences.
