Walden University's College of Management and Technology offers online Bachelor's degrees for working professionals 24 years or older leading to a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, and a Bachelor of Science in Communication. All degrees can be completed in four years or less and those students who have earned an associate's degree or have accumulated credits from a regionally accredited college or university are eligible to transfer credits.
The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration program, with 7 concentrations to choose from, enables students to gain knowledge and experience in three areas vital to business and society - social awareness, responsibility, and civic engagement, cross-cultural competence, and evidence-based decision-making.
