The practice of going through case studies and learning essentially a history of failures and successes in business was extremely valuable. The frameworks can be a little academic at times, but showing people how to think about business problems from multiple perspectives is very educational and useful when you actually have to solve your own business problem.

I was a business major for a year and a half before switching to biology. It is worth it to go over case studies and learn accounting, IMO lots of the value gained is through instructer-led group discussion which doesn’t really work over zoom. This led me to actually making a startup and learning much more about how businesses is done than I would have.
Why does it matter if they’re BA or something else? And recognised by who?
And obviously a postgrad business degree is not going to be a BA... because that’s an undergrad degree.
I think if you’re saying a MBA from a reputable school is useless I think you’re being really really silly. I see the opportunities these degrees give you and they are in a most literal sense extremely useful. They also seem academically valuable to me, with fascinating lectures by extremely well qualified people, and visiting amazing institutions.
