VSB offers undergraduate degree programs in accountancy, business honors (through the Class of 2012), and business administration with majors in
economics, finance, management, management information systems, and marketing. VSB also offers an international business co-major. Students may choose to double major or to select a minor field of study.
Starting with the Class of 2012, only one degree will be awarded within VSB regardless of the number of majors completed. Students who have completed the requirements for more than one degree, e.g. BSA and BBA, must choose which degree to be awarded. Majors are listed on the transcript, but not on the diploma.
