Bachelor of Business Administration (Self-Paced)
Self-paced programs measure progress by what students know and can do, not by the amount of time spent in class as in traditional credit hour programs. Students advance by demonstrating mastery of specific learning outcomes through assessments. Skills and knowledge gained through work or life experience can help students move through a self-paced program more quickly than a credit hour program. However, all students, regardless of pace, must demonstrate mastery of every required course to earn the degree.
