Distance Education

Business Management Online

This unique program combines the computer information and technology skills with the business and management skills required in today's business operation. All required courses are available online, and many are offered in a traditional campus environment. Students can choose from three different emphasis areas, depending upon past experiences, education and career goals. A faculty advisor will assist with developing the appropriate course sequencing.

The eBusiness program prepares students to design, implement and manage an eBusiness environment. eBusiness is the buying and selling of goods and services over the Internet. It involves using computer technology to communicate information to consumers and to process and fill orders. The curriculum allows students to gain skills in an electronic presence for a business ranging from site architecture and information development to site design and site analysis. It also includes the application of management concepts and tools to develop marketing and sales strategies and to improve the distribution of products and services.
