The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Business Administration with a concentration in Organizational Management is designed to serve the educational needs of the non-traditional learner and working adult, age 23 and older. The program prepares students to enter the field of management in a wide range of organizations and industries. Because there are many different fields within Organizational Management, this curriculum is designed to be applicable across most fields. This program enables adult enrollees to complete course work for a college degree at times most convenient to them: evenings and weekends.
