The Bachelor of Arts in Management (BAM) degree provides students the opportunity to complete an undergraduate degree while continuing to work full-time. The curriculum introduces students to the various functional areas of business organizations: finance and accounting, human resources, marketing, and information systems. In addition, the curriculum facilitates the development of leadership skills and core competencies in critical thinking and problem solving, project management, communication, teamwork, and ethics.

The program takes a scholar-practitioner approach to business education—providing students with the opportunity to both learn and apply business concepts. Course materials are available 24/7, and since class participation is required, students have the opportunity to interact with and learn from faculty and one another. The program offers small sized classes to optimize students’ engagement, interaction, and traditional learning experience.
