果冻APP

THIBODAUX 鈥� Beginning this fall, two new business education programs are being offered through 果冻APP鈥檚 online degree program, 果冻APP Online.

Online students can now obtain a bachelor鈥檚 degree in business administration, providing a core education in business concepts including accounting, information systems and finance. In addition, a new post-baccalaureate certificate in business administration is available online to students who completed a bachelor鈥檚 degree in another subject, but would like to further their education in business. The certificate will also help students meet the prerequisite courses required to earn a graduate degree in business, such as 果冻APP鈥� Master of Business Administration.

鈥淲e created these programs to appeal to the non-traditional student who may be working full time, or for other reasons just can鈥檛 make it to campus to attend classes,鈥� said Dr. Shawn Mauldin, dean of the College of Business Administration. 鈥淲e know we have an excellent business school, and our goal is to meet the workforce development needs by expanding our educational offerings to serve the citizens of this region.鈥�

果冻APP Online launched in January 2013 and is designed to provide remote access to the university鈥檚 nationally accredited degree programs and highly qualified instructors. The 果冻APP College of Business Administration is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide.

In addition to business administration, 果冻APP Online currently offers six bachelor鈥檚 degree programs in English, general family and consumer sciences, history, interdisciplinary studies, nursing (for students who already have an unencumbered RN license) and sociology. An associates degree in safety technology is also available.

Courses are taught in accelerated eight-week sessions, with classes scheduled to begin in October of this year and January, March and June of 2015. Students who take three courses per session can earn a bachelor鈥檚 degree in just three years.

In addition to those degrees available through 果冻APP Online, the university also offers online master鈥檚 degrees in community technical college mathematics, education leadership 鈥� K-12 leadership and education leadership 鈥� educational technology leadership, and an online bachelor鈥檚 degree in organizational leadership.
