A Hub for Young Business Minds

At the Department of Business Studies of the State University of Bangladesh, learning is alive. Since its start in 2002, the department has grown into a lively place where ideas meet action. Classrooms buzz with debate. Labs and projects turn theory into real work. Faculty guide students, and students push back with fresh ideas.

Today the department teaches 325 BBA students and 107 MBA students. Twenty-two teachers support them, keeping the class sizes personal and hands-on. First-year intake sits at 160 for BBA and 120 for MBA. These numbers show steady growth and a clear focus on quality education.

What makes State University different is the mix of strong theory and real experience. Lessons include case studies, group projects, simulations and field visits. Internships are not an add-on. They are part of the plan. The university works with banks, firms and development groups to place students in real roles. Alumni also open doors and help students start careers.

Students do more than study here. Many run small businesses. Each year the campus hosts a business case contest and an innovation challenge. These events let students test ideas, learn fast and meet mentors. The result is graduates who think clearly, lead teams and solve real problems.

Looking ahead, the department is updating its offer. New courses like AI for Business, Digital Finance and Sustainable Business Strategy are coming. Facilities for data work and an entrepreneurship incubator will help students build and launch projects. Furthermore, more guest lectures and industry ties are planned to bring global views into class.

The Department of Business Studies at State University is simple in aim. Teach well. Give real experience. Help young people step into work ready, confident and curious. That is where business education should start.
