About the Online Business Administration Program

The business administration program prepares students for a variety of career opportunities. It provides students with a broad overall understanding of the different functional disciplines of business and prepares them for positions of responsibility in business organizations.

The Bachelor of Science in Business online program is possible because of the transfer agreement between Murray State University and the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). KCTCS offers all of the lower-level requirements for the degree online. Once students have completed most or all of their lower-level coursework, they can complete their degree online through Murray State. This agreement allows students to achieve their degree objective regardless of where they are located. The Kentucky Virtual University (KYVU) coordinates programs and assists online students across the state.

The department’s various offerings feature many hands-on, experiential learning opportunities for students. Many of our courses incorporate one or more of the following: presentations, case analyses, simulations, working with real businesses as class clients, creating websites, and interacting with guest speakers. In addition, we encourage students to explore the possibility of completing internships that will enable them to work and learn from applying what they have learned in the classroom to actual jobs.
