B.A. or B.S. in Business Administration - Adult Degree Completion Program

A minimum of five (5) years full time work experience is required for admission to this major.

Effective management is required in organizations in all sectors of all economies. Organizations seek those individuals who have both people and process skills. The Adult Completion program in Business Administration is designed for working adults who want to enhance those skills. Each student is encouraged to understand their ways of learning in order to continue to grow their skills and abilities throughout their lifetime.

The Adult Completion program in Business Administration is a fast paced, year-round program for adults who work full time. Students are challenged to combine their prior learning (informal and non-formal) with theory, concepts, and history (formal learning) to maximize their effectiveness. Part of the process involves work in environments that are increasingly complex and reliant on participation in teams in which they will apply their learning to both hypothetical and actual challenges.

Classes meet year-round in eight-week modules, allowing you to make steady progress toward your educational goals while still maintaining your work and family life.
