(This program is not accepting applications for admission in 2016-17)

The Barowsky School of Business offers two options for adult learners to begin or complete an undergraduate degree while continuing to fulfill career and family responsibilities—Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (Fast) or Bachelor of Arts in Management (Flex).

The Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (BABA) Adult Degree Completion Program uniquely prepares mid-career professionals with a thorough grounding in classic business theory and practice while incorporating contemporary challenges and opportunities faced by business in the world’s global economy. Students will gain knowledge and skills in the primary functional areas within business: accounting, finance, organizational management and leadership, information technology, and marketing, and understand how these areas impact one another, contributing to an organization’s strategic purpose. Acknowledging that sustainable organizations result from ethical and socially responsible leadership, ecologically sustainable entrepreneurship or business practices, and a global mindset, the program offers an integrative approach that infuses ethical leadership, sustainability, and globalization throughout the curriculum. Graduates of this degree will be prepared as socially responsible leaders of sustainable organizations that make a positive difference in the world.

Business Adult Degree Completion (ADC) students may complete one of the concentrations offered in the Business Undergraduate Day Program if the student is available to take concentration courses during the day when these courses are typically offered. Prerequisite requirements for the concentration courses may be met by successful completion of the equivalent Business ADC course prior to enrolling in a concentration course.
