Business, A.S./Business Administration, B.B.A.
Program Description
These bachelor- and associate- level degree programs are specifically designed for highly motivated, non-traditional students. Students may be working adults who have acquired learning through career experiences, professional or military schools, college or university courses, and in-service training; they may also be students of a more traditional age who are simply interested in completing their degree requirements in a manner that accommodates their work and family obligations.
The Bachelor of Business Administration degree program has been established with two entry points. Students who have completed the equivalent of a freshman and sophomore year (approximately 60 credits) enter the BBA Core, a 60-credit course sequence that includes junior- and senior-level courses. The BBA Core is offered in two formats: an on-campus evening hybrid program, and an online program. Students without sufficient credits to enter the BBA may start in the ASB program and transfer immediately into the BBA program when the necessary credits are obtained.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:
- Identify the principal concepts, theories, and practices in the functional areas of business with a focus on ethics and critical thinking.
- Evaluate the social and natural environments of business and apply them to the development of managerial strategy.
- Evaluate the global dimensions of business.
- Compose and present effective written and oral forms of communication.
Total number of credits: 120 (B.B.A., on-campus hybrid and evening), 120 (B.B.A., online) or 60 (A.S., online and on-campus)
Delivery formats: On-campus, online
Delivery Formats
- On-campus evening students are enrolled in one four-credit, seven-week course at a time or may choose to take one on-campus course and one online course at the same time in order to achieve full time status.
- Online students take one or two courses at a time; each course is seven weeks in length. Online instructional methods include mini-lectures, discussion boards, case studies, group projects, virtual labs, and simulations. Each four-credit course is a required component of the program.
The A.S. in Business can be used to earn an associate degree or simply to accumulate sufficient credits to transfer into a baccalaureate-level program, depending on the student’s educational goals.
