Program of Study
The Applied Business courses will be offered in both an online and face-to-face format over a seven week period. Most core courses are offered in the "hybrid" format, which includes 20 hours of classroom instruction and at least 20 hours of online instruction.
Cooperative Learning Experiences
Cooperative learning experiences (co-ops) are available in the Applied Business program utilizing elective courses approved by the Program Chair. Depending on the co-op experience available and the student’s course completion schedule, other courses may also be completed as a co-op. Each co-op experience is expected to last for two consecutive semesters and earn the student six credits toward their 120 credit degree.
To be eligible for the co-op the student must have completed 60 credits and have a minimum GPA of 2.5. The student must contact the office of Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) one semester before they would like to begin their co-op assignment. Once an opportunity description is secured, the WIL office will seek credit approval of the experience from the Applied Business Program Chair.
