Online BSBA in General Business program

About the Online BSBA degree

Over 20 years ago, online education emerged as a new, convenient way to earn a degree and advance professionally without spending time away from the workforce.

As perpetual trailblazers, Warrington jumped at the chance to introduce students to our MBA, regardless of their location or industry. Two years later, we also made our undergraduate BSBA degree available online.

Through our partnership with UF Online, we bring our intensive, comprehensive and data-infused business education to you:

• Get a thorough introduction to business: Explore accounting, economics, business law, international business, finance, management, marketing and data analytics. Beyond principles, you’ll see how these areas help a business run, develop a strategic mindset and understand how to manage people, resources and processes.
• Get broadly applicable business skills: Prepare to analyze, manage, strategize and achieve goals in any industry through an expert-guided study of accounting, finance, marketing, data analytics, AI and other functional areas.
• Structure your degree around your life: As you juggle a full-time job, a family and other obligations, adapt your course load to your availability — from a lighter semester (four to eight credits) to a full schedule (12 credits).
• Expand your perspective: Curious about how business concepts apply in a specific industry or role? The General Business major provides a broad business background and insight into the workings of real estate, entrepreneurship, retailing, leadership and strategic management.
• Empower your professional progress: Gear up for your first job, a promotion or a switch in career through courses that cover career management strategies and essential technology tools.

Tuition and scholarships

Amazing outcomes plus affordable tuition result in a return on investment you’ll find nowhere else. Through UF Online, you’ll pay 40% less than if you attended courses in person. See how much a UF online business degree costs.

On top of this, Warrington awards scholarships to undergraduates each year, including online students.

These one-time, term-based awards range from $500 to $2,000. For consideration, interested students are advised to submit their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) and Warrington’s undergraduate scholarship application.

Types of awards include:

• Merit- and need-based awards: Stay focused on your next major goal with a scholarship that recognizes all you’ve achieved so far.
• Region-specific awards: Live in Tampa, Palm Beach, Polk County or another Florida region? You may be eligible for a scholarship that offsets the cost of tuition or study abroad expenses.
• Study abroad awards: About half of Warrington undergraduates complete a study abroad experience before they graduate. For many students, scholarships that partially cover tuition or living expenses make these trips possible.
• Veterans and military benefits: Whether you’re earning your degree overseas or wherever your mission takes you, Warrington invites veterans and current military members to apply for a whole host of benefits toward an Online BSBA degree.
