Business Administration – Online

We believe that learning doesn’t just take place in a classroom, but wherever you’re building new relationships in your field of study or completing a real-world project in a hands-on learning experience. That’s why the Business Administration program seeks to individualize learning, offering faculty mentorships, peer-to-peer learning and opportunities for personal growth.

Support

In the Business Administration program, you’ll learn from world-class professors, leaders in their academic fields who bring their cutting-edge expertise to the classroom and their personal scholarship. We also boast a low student-to-faculty ratio and robust academic advising.

Experiential Learning Opportunities

Even as you pursue your degree online, you still have experiential learning opportunities. Hands-on learning is so central to what we do, we’ve built service learning projects into our curriculum, giving students the opportunity to apply the knowledge they’ve learned in real-world settings. Among the programs our students have participated in: A free tax clinic for low-income families, and senior team field projects that seek to find solutions to real problems at businesses. Students are also encouraged to participate in the rigorous Hogan Entrepreneurs Program.
