NU Online – Business Smarts: Earn Your BSBA Online

When Krista Wilson decided it was time to head back to school for her bachelor’s degree in business she knew it would require balancing current work and life responsibilities with her coursework. Working full-time for over 10 years at a contracted company for the federal government, Wilson knew the online degree route was the best option for her current life.

The University of Nebraska at Kearney’s (UNK) Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) online degree program is ideal for working adults interested in furthering their skills and knowledge in core business concepts. This program is designed to empower business leaders to attain additional marketable credentials and take the next step for their business career.

“I was attracted to UNK’s BSBA because I have an interest in being an entrepreneur and having my own business, as well as an interest in law, among other different facets. All of my career interests circle back to business, so this degree is relevant to whatever path I decide to take,” said Wilson.

In the fast-paced world of business, an online BSBA through UNK can help individuals invest in their future on their schedule.

Access and flexibility make it possible for adult students to gain a solid foundation in several aspects of business alongside other responsibilities.

“Online learning is for those that learn well on their own time. I don’t think there’s anything better than being able to do my coursework in my own house, on my time, after my son goes to sleep and I can sit and focus,” Wilson said.

Online classes are very interactive with communication through email, discussion forums and chat groups. Pursuing the UNK BSBA makes you a part of a community you can benefit from. Students work with an adviser, from application to graduation, who helps tailor the program unique to them.
