University of Maine to offer online undergraduate business management degree
The University of Maine will offer its Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) in Management degree fully online beginning in fall 2020.
The program, developed as a collaboration between the Maine Business School and UMaineOnline, is the first online undergraduate business degree from Maine’s flagship university.
“We are excited to offer our BSBA in Management in an online format,” says Faye Gilbert, dean of the Undergraduate School of Business and interim provost. “The Maine Business School prides itself on delivering the highest quality business education. Now that mission can be extended to students however they choose to complete their degree.”
The Maine Business School (MBS) Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Management degree is built on a foundation of diverse business courses in accounting, finance, management and marketing. In their major coursework, management students navigate the complexities of corporate, international and small business management, and hone administrative and organizational skills, such as leadership, organizational change, strategic analysis and human resources. Graduates are equipped for careers in supervisory or administrative positions in business, government and nonprofit organizations.
Students in the online BSBA in Management are afforded all the benefits of the Maine Business School, including top-tier faculty instruction, an extensive career development program and a respected curriculum.
The Maine Business School is accredited by AACSB International, a mark of quality that distinguishes colleges of business as adhering to the most rigorous standards of academic excellence.
Additionally, online students will receive personalized programming and resources designed specifically for online learners.
“Online students will enjoy specialized advising from our dedicated UMaineOnline team, who will support and guide through the admission and enrollment process,” says Monique LaRocque, associate provost for the Division of Lifelong Learning. “We are pleased to offer the BSBA in Management as an online option as it will now provide access to students throughout Maine and beyond who are not able to attend classes on campus.“
