Faculty
Our professors are active researchers, consultants, business owners and community leaders, but they are teachers and mentors first. We keep classes small, therefore professors can offer individual attention and support that is rare in other business schools.
Business Program Distinctions
Our business administration degree programs are accredited by the International Accreditation Council for Business Education and are available on campus, online or in a hybrid mode.
You have the option to pursue a Bachelor of Business Administration or a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, depending on your plans for graduate school or career. Both transfer in your previous college credits.
Bachelor of Business Administration, On Campus, Online or Hybrid
We offer day and evening courses, 14-week and accelerated seven-week courses, to serve full-time and part-time students.
Students who pursue the B.B.A. are required to complete at least 30 credits in the liberal arts and sciences (of the total 120 credits for a bachelor’s degree), which allows you to take more management courses.
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, On Campus
Students who pursue the B.S. in Business Administration complete 60 credits in the liberal arts and sciences (of the total 120 credits for a bachelor’s degree). This is a great option if you want to explore other subjects.
