Online college gives business students new options

Working professionals who wish to enhance their educational qualifications may want to consider enrolling in tailored programs in business at online colleges, such as Cappella University.

The school has announced the availability of two new online degree programs for business students and professionals.

Bachelors degree candidates can begin masters-level work through the school's Combined BS/MBA option. After students complete 100 credits of undergraduate coursework, they can begin taking courses that they can apply to the college's MBA program.

School officials anticipate this opportunity could save students as much as $7,700 on tuition fees and reduce the time it will take to earn both degrees by up to two quarters.

Administrators have also created an online Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) that allows students to gain expertise in a specific area and, if they choose to, study abroad.

Doctoral candidates in this program will be able to choose between specializations in business intelligence, global operations and supply chain management or strategy and innovation. These students may also seek advice from the online school's leadership coaches, who can help them apply what they are learning to their careers.
