Earn your business management degree online by completing the requirements listed on the program sheet.

Business coursework required for graduation:

  • 31 credits of fundamental and business preparation courses
  • 21 credits of upper-level foundation core courses
  • 15 credits of elective courses
      • These electives are offered in high demand areas such as Project Management, Managing Services, Sales, Global Management, Digital Marketing, and Supply Chain Management. You can even include a 3-credit internship and/or a 3-credit independent study to meet your elective requirements with instructor permission.
      • You may have completed some of the 31 credits of fundamental and business preparation courses required while pursuing an associate or 4-year degree. These credits could be applied to shorten your path to completion.

Other graduation requirements:

  1. Complete 120 credits of college work. This must include 36 credits in courses numbered 300 or above. Certain elementary courses are identified in the catalog and/or course schedule as not counting toward the 120 credits required for graduation. In addition, only the first 8 credits of physical education activity courses (100 level) may be counted toward graduation or grade point averages (GPA).
  2. Earn a minimum of 30 of the final 60 credits toward an undergraduate degree at UW-Parkside. Individual departments and programs may require that certain courses must be taken at UW-Parkside. Students must complete all course work to be counted toward graduation by the end of the semester/subscription period in which they graduate.
  3. Attain a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 on a 4.00 scale and an overall GPA of 2.5 in 300/400 level business foundation, major and concentration courses (including any transfer courses). Transfer students must also have a cumulative 2.00 GPA on the combination of transfer credits accepted and credits attempted at UW-Parkside.
  4. Complete an approved major program of study with the minimum major GPA as specified by the program or department.  Students who apply transfer credits to their majors must also meet the minimum major GPA requirement on the combination of transfer credits and UW-Parkside credits. At least 15 credits of upper level course work (courses numbered 300 or higher) must be completed at UW-Parkside. A student may not graduate with an incomplete grade in major course work if failure in that course would reduce the GPA in the major below the minimum GPA.
  5. Meet UW-Parkside general university requirements.  This includes:
  1. Skills Requirements
  2. General Education Requirements
  3. Foreign Language Requirement
  4. Ethnic Diversity Requirement 

The cost per credit for courses in the online Business Management program are charged at a flat rate. However, courses taken to fulfill requirements outside of the program (ie. math, English or general education) will be charged following these guidelines.
