Undergraduate Program for Business Professionals
The Associate of Arts degree allows students to build practical skills within a sound theoretical framework. The Associate of Arts in Business Administration (AABA) was designed by academic and business leaders to offer a solid foundation in business administration processes and concepts while also developing core competencies across multiple disciplines.
Log in when you’re available, whether that’s at work or at home. Your reading, lectures, and assignments can be completed on your schedule, but maintain a routine thanks to our structured seminars.
With 20 courses (each at approximately 6 weeks) and 60 hours needed for degree completion, students can finish in just over two years. Students with transfer credit may complete even sooner!
Bring your prior education and experience with you! As part of the admissions process, a full evaluation of your transcripts will determine what is left to complete your undergraduate degree at DSU
Connect with classmates as colleagues in the international trade profession, and discover what opportunities exist inside and outside of your organization.
Undergraduate students must: be at least 18 years of age, have high school diploma or equivalent, be proficient in reading and writing of the English language and complete the required enrollment forms by all applicable deadlines. Transfer credit is accepted based on the polices described elsewhere in the academic catalog.
TOTAL CREDIT HOURS 60
A full-time student completes 24 credit hours per year (eight 3-credit-hour courses), organized into three terms (Fall, Spring and Summer). Both the Fall and Spring terms consist of three sequential (nonconsecutive) 6-week blocks, while the Summer term consists of two sequential (non-consecutive) 6-week blocks. A full-time student with no transfer credit or credit for prior learning credit would take approximately two-and-one-half years to complete their degree.
Depending upon the goals of the student, commitments outside their studies, transfer credit accepted and the student’s level of academic achievement, it is reasonable to assume that a student could complete the program in a shorter time frame. Students will develop a schedule to completion with their academic counselor.
