Description
Our online Business degree gives you a solid foundation in how the world of work really functions. While some degrees focus on just one thing (like math or history), this major covers everything you need to know to run a successful organization.
You will study the same great curriculum as our in-person students, covering these key areas:
- Management: Learn how to lead people and build a great team.
- Finance & Accounting: Understand how businesses track and grow their money.
- Marketing: Learn the best ways to promote products and reach new customers.
- Economics: See how the world’s economy affects daily business choices.
- Law and Ethics: Learn how to make smart, legal, and fair decisions.
Make it Yours Because this program is broad, you can choose “elective” classes that match your dream job. Whether you are interested in starting your own company (Entrepreneurship) or working with tech (Computer Information Systems), you can pick the path that fits you. You’ll graduate ready to work in a big corporation, a small business, or even a non-profit.
