Bachelor of Business Administration/Management


Explanation:
Greetings,

In some countries, ingeniero refers to a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration/Management. Depending on the context, it may be helpful to say "holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration/Management". In the US, "Business Administration" is the preferred term, but "Business Management" might be preferred in the UK. I would not say simply "Business Administrator/Manager" because this term could be a job title and does not imply that the person has a degree in this area.

agree  Henry Hinds: Good. Chile is one country where "ingeniero" is used for many degrees that have nothing to do with engineering, so Bachelor is the answer.
