Why an Online Major in Business Management Degree?
Management, advising, data analytics, consulting, and more — no matter what your career goals might be, having a bachelor’s degree will increase your chances of attaining them. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), people who hold bachelor’s degrees are 43% more likely to find employment than people with only a high school degree.
Of course, many jobs in business managementrequire a bachelor’s degree to even get your foot in the door, and many of those jobs are growing in number. The BLS projects that by the end of the decade, the demand for financial analysts will increase by 12%— twice the average rate for all occupations in the U.S. In that same period of time, management analyst positions could grow by 11%. The need for financial examiners could grow by a whopping 21%.
With every new innovation in technology, and with every new trend in business strategy, business professionals need to adapt in order to thrive. So do business programs. We designed the BBA in Business Management to keep up with the fast pace of change — so that you can, too.
