Business Management

Yes! Students can take this program fully online in the convenience of your home or office or in a traditional in-class format. You can choose which format works best for your learning. All of the required courses and most of the electives can be completed in a fully online environment. For online courses, all assignments, tests and quizzes can be completed online and submitted through Blackboard, our online learning platform.

Most, but not all of our online courses are asynchronous, which means that you can login and complete your work anytime 24/7. The lessons for each week are accessible via Canvas, our online learning management system. While you can view the lectures and participate at your preferred time, you may have weekly assignments, quizzes and/or tests that are due on specific dates. Our new virtual reality courses allow you to interact with instructors and peers in real-time from your home or office. These courses have specific meeting dates and times.

The refund deadline for courses in this program is typically one week after the start date. For intensive format courses, the refund deadline is usually sooner. This allows you one week to try out a class and review the courses syllabus. If you decide that the course does not meet your educational needs, be sure to drop within the refund deadline. While you are permitted to drop a course after the refund deadline, a refund will no longer be provided. The exact refund deadline for each section is listed in the section notes on the course page in our website, and you can also find it in My Extension by clicking on “My Courses” and then the name of the course.
