Learning Options
The BS in Business Administration offers flexible ways to learn — in person, hybrid, or fully online. All eight concentrations are available on campus, while three (Finance, Management, and Marketing) can also be completed 100% online for maximum convenience.
Most concentrations in the Business Administration B.S. are offered in person on campus, giving you direct access to faculty, peers, and the vibrant Feliciano School of Business community. The on-campus experience provides opportunities to collaborate face-to-face, join student organizations, and build your professional network through events and employer connections. All eight concentrations — Entrepreneurship, Finance, International Business, Management, Management Information Systems, Marketing, Real Estate, and Strategic Human Capital Management — can be completed in person.
A hybrid format combines the best of both worlds, blending online coursework with in-person classes. This option provides flexibility while still offering valuable on-campus experiences. Hybrid learning may be available for select courses across concentrations, allowing you to balance your academic goals with work or other commitments. While not every concentration has a fully hybrid pathway, students can often choose some online courses to complement their in-person requirements.
Need maximum flexibility? Three Business Administration concentrations — Finance, Management, and Marketing — can be completed fully online.

Whether you’re working full-time, managing family responsibilities, or simply prefer the convenience of online learning, this option allows you to earn your degree on your own terms.
Applicants to the online program must have 45 or more credits from a regionally accredited college or university. Transfer students with an associate’s degree need a minimum 2.8 GPA, while those without an associate’s degree must have at least a 3.0 GPA.
