The UW Flexible Option Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is project based. You will progress toward a degree by completing a series of projects that directly relate to what business professionals do in their daily work. The projects are designed to evaluate your knowledge, skills, and abilities in the context of practical scenarios, from careers related to marketing, accounting, finance, human resource management, operations management, supply chain management, project management, information systems, sales, and other areas of business.
The projects require you to apply your knowledge and skills to real-world business scenarios in a meaningful way. Take for example a project that asks you to create a marketing plan for a new beverage. To successfully complete that project, you will have to demonstrate mastery in market research, design, print and social media, budget development, and product presentation. As you advance through the business degree curriculum, projects are designed to progressively develop your skills from beginning stages to advanced levels of expertise.
This UW Flexible Option program is especially designed for self-motivated learners who want to leverage their previous work skills and knowledge in order to advance more quickly to a degree. The competency-based and self-paced format of UW Flexible Option programs fits around your schedule, as you balance work and family responsibilities with your educational goals.
