As I have pointed out earlier, Germany has both an Academy of Business Administration (in Bonn) and Schools of Business Adminstration.

agree  Helen Shiner: sounds more natural to me, though both could be correct depending on the country.
1 hr
  -> thank you !
neutral  Lirka: agree about the Buss Adm part, but again, academy does sound strange in the USA. They simply say "school"
4 hrs
  -> thank you! ín the ÚSA they say school for an institute in which post graduate studies are offered and degrees obtained ?
agree  Rebecca Garber: Definitely Business Administration. Academy would depend on the specific educational institution, if you have that info available.
