Abstract
This study aims to identify the factors influencing the choice of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) among students. Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to BBA students at Lumbini Banijaya Campus. Out of 150 questionnaires distributed, 63 were received with complete information. The study employed a descriptive research design, and frequency as a descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study revealed that family and friends have a significant influence on students' decisions, serving as trusted advisors and providing personal recommendations and insights into educational opportunities. Moreover, effective advertisement campaigns play a crucial role in creating awareness about the BBA course among a broader audience. The study suggests that the most important factor behind choosing BBA is job opportunities, accounting for 46.0% of the responses. Students believe that a BBA degree will lead to diverse and promising career paths due to the growing significance of business and management skills in various industries. While a significant proportion of respondents expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of doing BBA in Nepal compared to foreign countries, a high percentage believed that BBA was worth the cost. This belief could be attributed to positive outcomes such as better job opportunities and career growth associated with their BBA education. Additionally, the BBA curriculum, practical learning opportunities, internships, and real-world projects were seen as factors contributing to skill enhancement and increased confidence among BBA students. Financial considerations and family and peer influence were identified as primary factors influencing college choices for BBA. The study also found that the majority of respondents believed they could get a return on their investment in pursuing a BBA degree and were willing to advise their young relatives to choose BBA based on positive experiences and perceived value.
