In recent times, a growing number of students are opting to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Business, which has led to some confusion among them about which specific field within Business to choose, such as Business Administration or Accounting.
Although business administration and accounting are closely related fields, in smaller companies they may be combined into a single department. On the other hand, larger companies tend to have separate departments and professionals specialize in one of the two fields.
A business administration degree is designed to help students build a foundation on core business administration subjects. These subjects include general business administration, finance, accounting, human resources, project management, marketing, etc.
The main difference between these two is what the major’s main focus is. Business administration doesn’t deal directly with bookkeeping, tax work, and accounting—rather with strategic financial planning. Accounting, on the other hand, deals directly with financial matters only.
With a business administration degree, these are some potential job titles:
- Sales Manager
- Business Consultant

With an accounting degree, these are some potential job titles:
- Accountant
- Budget analyst
- Auditor
