Business education involves teaching students about the basics, theories, and business processes. Education in this field takes place at several levels, including secondary education and higher education or university education. Approximately 38% of students enroll in one or more business courses during their high school years.

Intermediate education
Business is taught as a middle-level academic subject in many countries, including Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Lesotho, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Nigeria, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Argentina, Sweden, Tanzania, Malaysia and English. At the pre-tertiary level, it is often called the Business Studies , and typically incorporates elements of accounting, finance, marketing, organizational studies, human resource management and economics.

Undergraduate education
At the university level, students have the opportunity to take a bachelor's degree, usually a bachelor's degree, in business and management. The special curriculum and degree awarding procedures differ by program and by region. In general, the program will consist of preparation for management and general business, or more detailed - more academically - focus on a particular area. Regardless, all will usually include basic options like Accounting, Marketing, Finance, and Operations Management.
Management-directed courses are designed to provide a broad knowledge of the company's functional areas, and their interconnections, as well as to develop students' managerial practical skills, communication skills and business decision-making abilities. These programs then combine training and practical experience, in the form of case projects, presentations, internships, industry visits, and interaction with industry experts.
Subject-specific courses, on the other hand, focus on a particular area, and are often more stressed on the theory. Even in these cases, however, in addition to their majors, students are exposed to general business principles, taking initial courses in accounting/finance, human resources, statistics, marketing, economics, and information systems.
At the graduate school level, students seek a variety of master's degrees, either in general management-very common MBA-or in specific areas, such as marketing or finance. The next difference is that students pursuing a postgraduate degree often have business experience, although this is not necessarily a program requirement.
In accordance with both, a bachelor's degree in business and management generally consists of two kinds.
On the one hand, programs such as Master of Science (M.Sc) or Arts (MA) or Commerce (M.Com) in General Management (sometimes also called Master of Management, or MIM) usually require no professional experience. (Often M.Sc in Management is for graduates with the first academic degree in social sciences, while the MA in Management is for other backgrounds.The Master of Engineering Management, MEM, is aimed at graduates with engineering background.)
On the other hand, the Master of Business Administration (MBA) requires a minimum of two to three years of professional experience and is open to graduates from any field. Related differences: M.Sc in Management is more specialized than MBA, and is more suitable for academic research, while MBA is more industry-focused and management.
Regarding the degree structure, postgraduate business programs are generally designed in such a way that students get the same theoretical and practice exposure; The mix, though, will be different from the level and school, as discussed. Learning later through lectures, case studies, and often team projects ("syndicates" work). This theory is covered in classroom settings by academic faculty. Particularly in the MBA, the theory is then reinforced, and reviewed, also in the classroom, through case methods, placing students in decision-making roles, "complete with incomplete obstacles and information found in real business problems." Practical learning often consists from consulting projects with real clients, or at least handling actual cases, and often in teams. Practical elements (as well as case studies) can involve external practitioners, and sometimes executives, supporting the teaching of the academic faculty. One challenge for business academics is to show that their curriculum is relevant to those who want to become managers.

Doctor
At the doctoral level, all the degrees offered are the focus of research, although they differ in their relative weight on theory versus practice. Typically, DBA, DPA, DHA and D.Mgt emphasize joint research managerial practices; related, the thesis for this degree will often focus on applied research. The other doctors here are (exclusive) theory and research based. The entrance is usually on the basis of a relevant master's degree, and for a weighted practice degree, relevant managerial experience.
