    International Students

    The full-time BSBA program accepts international students.

    The part-time BSBA program is not able to sponsor F-1 students as the requirement of an F-1 visa is full-time student status. However, the program is open to other non-immigrant visa holders who do not need an I-20 document for their status (including H-1 and E-1).

    Visit the international student admission page for more information.

  • FAQ

    What is a cohort?

    A cohort is a group of students who work through a curriculum together to achieve the same academic degree. Because they are accepted into the same program, take their classes together and graduate together, students in cohorts tend to form a strong support system and professional network that benefit them during their degree program and beyond.

    What is the Senior Experience Program?

    The Senior Experience Program matches teams of students with projects submitted by local businesses and organizations. Students work as consultants on rigorous, real-world projects that require teamwork and application of classroom knowledge. Businesses receive concentrated attention from bright, energetic teams that provide a fresh, independent look at their projects. Each student team works under the supervision of a faculty member.

    The nature of the problems or projects chosen for Senior Experience varies according to the organization. For instance, a student consulting team might be asked to:

    • Diagnose the causes of an accounting, finance, operations or information systems problem, evaluate possible solutions and make a recommendation or possibly implement the chosen alternative
    • Conduct a feasibility study or write a business plan for producing a new product, entering a new market or building a new facility
    • Analyze manufacturing processes, customer service workflows or a human resources program

    What services do you offer to active military, veterans and dependents?

    Please visit our military and veteran services page to learn how we can help.

    How often do I need to come to campus for classes?

    Students are typically asked to come to campus two days per week for classes.
