Bachelor of Business Administration Degree Completion Program Campus: Chicago Number of Required Campus Visits: 0
Program Type: Bachelor's Degree Award Conferred: Bachelor of Business Administration Total Number of Credit Hours: 60 Sem. Hr(s). Description:
Today's business leaders need to be empowered with
two main skills: managing people and managing the
numbers. Our online Bachelor of Business Administration
(BBA) Degree Completion program teaches you how to do
both well.
All online BBA programs are not created equal. Our BBA
is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate
Schools of Business (AACSB), which accredits fewer than
5% of business schools around the world--and very few
online programs. Graduating with a BBA through the
University of Illinois means that you will be better equipped
to meet the challenges of today's business world, and you'll
be better prepared to proceed towards your MBA.
This BBA program is offered by the College of Business
Administration at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).
You will take courses developed and taught by University of
Illinois faculty, and you will receive the same quality
education you would attain from UIC's on-campus
program.
The program is ideal for anyone with an associate's
degree in the liberal arts, business or any other field.
Applicants to the BBA program are required to have
completed approximately two years of college-level
coursework and have maintained a 2.5 or higher GPA. The
curriculum consists of 19 courses ranging from three to four
credit hours, for a total of 60 credit hours.
Some of the areas you will engage in include:
- Strategic Management
- Marketing
- Management Information Systems
- Business Ethics
- Managerial Finance and Accounting
- Global Economic Models
- Negotiation and Conflict Resolutions
Through courses developed by the award-winning
faculty of the UIC-CBA, you will develop and strengthen
critical thinking, problem solving, communication,
management, and leadership skills.
Courses are eight weeks in length, and applications are accepted
at any time during the year.
AACSB Accreditation
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of
Business (AACSB) is the premier accrediting agency of
collegiate business schools and accounting programs
worldwide. Fewer than 5% of the world's business schools
have achieved this elite distinction. BBA graduates will have
a degree that is fully accredited by the AACSB, further
defining their leadership credentials within the global
business community.
