About

This program is designed to provide adult learners with a degree that is inclusive of prior learning, offers great flexibility in terms of course/program content, and allows them to complete their business degree in a highly flexible online environment. The program is geared toward working adults who are currently in a role that does not require a degree but who have developed the functional expertise to take on a managerial role. Local companies have told us that they often require new managers or supervisors to have a degree, and they prefer that the degrees be in business. This degree provides the graduate with the managerial knowledge and business skills employers are looking for. Our close ties to regional businesses provide many benefits for our students. Business executives share their expertise as mentors and guest lecturers in classes, and provide valuable advice on program and course content, helping to keep our curricula fresh, relevant and rigorous. Students gain valuable hands-on experience through group projects that assign them to solve problems for local businesses and by participating in co-op and internship programs at regional companies. All College of Business programs are accredited at the highest possible level by AACSB International (the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). In addition, the CBA is one of only 171 schools that have earned separate accounting accreditation.
