Online Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
General Business Online
Curriculum
The Online Business Program provides the final two years of a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, with a major in General Business. The program is designed to fit seamlessly with an Associates of Arts degree from a Florida community or state college.
Students enrolled in the Online Business Program are taught by the same outstanding faculty as UF’s on-campus business students. Live lectures recorded on campus are delivered over the Internet via streaming audio and video, allowing students from all over Florida to feel like they’re a part of the university classroom. Lectures can be viewed any time of the day or night. Students receive support from professors, teaching assistants, and academic advisors through e-mail, discussion boards, and chat rooms.
Although students can view lectures with a 56K modem, video motion is much smoother with higher speed connections such as those provided by DSL, cable, or satellite services. To view a 6-minute lecture demonstration from Dr. Richard Lutz in his Principles of Marketing course view the following:
