The Online BBA is the perfect choice if you're a busy professional with limited time or a hectic travel schedule, a stay-at-home parent who needs flexibility, or simply someone who lives far from our campus. If you have basic computer skills and have Internet access, you could be a great candidate for online learning.
With work and family obligations, there never seems to be a "right time" to finish your degree. So how can you advance your career when your education is standing still? The answer is at your fingertips--just a mouse click away--through the Online Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) Program at Western New England College.
The Online BBA is a part-time degree completion program that is designed for students who have already earned an associate's degree or approximately 60 undergraduate credits and want to continue on to earn a bachelor's degree. Candidates for this program must transfer in at least 54 credit hours to be considered for admission. Courses are delivered entirely via the Internet. Six sessions are offered per year, four of which are eight-weeks, while two are six-week summer sessions. If you take at least one course each session, you could earn your degree in just over three years.
We're Closer Than You Think...and So is Your Degree!
We will help you develop your degree completion plan, get your transfer credits evaluated, and maximize credit for previous learning experiences. We are available day or evening for in-person or phone-in consultation, and by email.
You will have regular homework assignments, papers, tests, and projects. You will submit your class work and communicate with your professors and classmates over the Internet. Best of all, you'll enjoy the flexibility of studying at times convenient for you.
You will also have online access to the College's D'Amour Library, which has an extensive collection of print and electronic books and journals. You can use the Internet to link to the Library catalogue, articles, e-books, reference help, academic and government websites, and interlibrary loans.
Online Doesn't Mean You're Learning Alone
You won't be on your own. You will get to know your classmates and professors by interacting through Manhattan, our online course delivery software. Students are often surprised by the level of personal attention and collaboration they experience in online courses.
