OVERVIEW

By offering a wide variety of off-campus courses, the School of Business Administration accommodates the self-directed students with the means to satisfy the various kinds of business-related educational needs that exist at different academic specialization levels. The students who benefit from such a program may fall into one or more of the following groups:

Individuals who want to continue full-time employment while earning their degrees.

Individuals who have interrupted their college education and find it impossible to return to campus to complete their degree requirements.

Military Personnel who are stationed in remote areas.

Military Personnel who are not stationed in one location for a sufficiently long period of time.

Individuals already established in careers who do not require an academic credential, but need knowledge augmentation for more effectiveness.

Students who wish to qualify for admission to graduate programs.

Individuals who need academic credentials for their promotions.

Students who are pursuing a degree program may complete their degree requirements through a combination of taking correspondence courses at American Global University, independent and guided studies; concurrent classroom courses at accredited institutions, and credit transfers. Credits may be granted for the hours from colleges previously attended as well as for a careful evaluation of documented relevant life learning experiences. Appropriate military and professional education are also considered in such an evaluation.

The program is implemented at three academic levels: bachelor's, master's, and doctoral.

Courses in the concentration area corroborate the core and enhance the student's ability to achieve his/her career objectives. The bachelor's degree program begins with general education courses, advances by core and concentration courses, and is completed with a final research paper, at the end, showing the ability of the student to analyze a business problem and make an appropriate decision suitable to the surrounding circumstances.

THE GRADUATE PROGRAM

Students who have already earned a bachelor's degree and been exposed to the business world would well fit in the Master of Arts in Business Administration (MBA) program. This program provides a broad business education, which develops fundamental skills in accounting, finance, marketing, organizational structure, and management of systems and human resources. It is specially adaptable to multiple executive career paths. It enables the students to pursue either a general MBA education or an MBA with concentration in accounting, finance, marketing, or management. Both options, however, require a thesis presenting the results of an original research by each student.

The Doctor of Philosophy in Business Administration (Ph.D.) program is designed for proficiency in the field of study. It prepares the students for careers in teaching, research, or higher levels of managerial positions. The educational needs of the positions of the business directors and senior specialists in the corporate environment are best met through this program. In addition to taking the highest level courses in the related field and passing the final qualifying exam, the student is required to demonstrate achieving mastery beyond the Master's level. This is ensured by employing research methodologies in an original work and presenting a dissertation representing a significant contribution to knowledge.
