Cohort 2023 Onwards

BBA Second Majors and Minors (for BBA students on the new BBA Curriculum only)

Students from Academic Year 2023/2024 whom have decided to make the curriculum switch as well as students matriculating in Academic Year 2024/2025 would have a curriculum that is one-third unrestricted electives. This would allow students to have a higher degree of freedom to broaden their university education and enhance their learning experience.

Students would be able to take up a 2nd Major or Minor within or outside of NUS Business School.

Within NUS Business School, students can take up a 2nd Major/Minor from the 9 Majors available in the BBA Programme.
Outside of NUS Business School, students can take up a 2nd Major/Minor from other faculties in NUS.
