Overview

This flexible program, offered 100% online with the option to take on-campus courses, equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to take a leadership role or start a business of their own.

Why Study Business and Applied Science?

Unlike a traditional BA in a business program, the Bachelor of Arts in Business and Applied Science is designed to give you the real-world skills and applicable knowledge you need in daily business operations. Take on tasks in marketing, finance, human resources, and other business areas with the critical knowledge it takes to get the job done. A business and applied science program uses theoretical knowledge to support real-world applications.

This Business and Applied Science program from Governors State University is a popular step beyond an associate degree in applied science. Expand on your existing knowledge and hone your passions to prepare for a position in a new company, a much-deserved promotion, or other career change. Adding business courses to your existing applied science coursework allows you to improve your position in your company or seek out new positions in related companies
