Types of Business Degrees, Online & On Campus

Online business degrees and online business courses have become prominent in recent years because they allow you to advance your education while working full-time. For example, earning your business communication degree online offers you the opportunity to keep a regular job – perhaps in a related field like customer service – while studying business communications in the evening. An online business degree can also mean significantly improved income; the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that holding an MBA allows you to earn over $26,000 more each year when compared to someone who holds only a bachelor’s degree.

Earning a business degree online can mean a more enjoyable and better-paying job. You can choose from many different business degrees, but some of the more traditional programs – and the careers they might lead you to – include:

  • Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Business Administration Assuming full-time study, this is a two-year program that prepares you to enter the job market after graduation. Earning an AAS in Business Administration generally qualifies you for entry-level financial and management positions.
  • Bachelor of Science (BS) in Accounting A BS in Accounting prepares you for both an accounting career and the certified accounting examinations. This usually leads to a career as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and perhaps a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) should you decide to enter the private sector.
  • Master of Business Administration (MBA) This advanced degree requires about two years of full-time postgraduate study. An MBA is often considered a must-have degree for anyone who wants to one day hold an executive-level position at a major company.
