“With Cal State Fullerton’s national reputation for academic quality, affordability, and social mobility, online students are taking the same business classes that their on-campus peers are taking, taught by the same world-class faculty members. They will graduate with the same Cal State Fullerton diploma earned by on-campus business students. Current and future employers can trust they are investing in someone who pursued a rigorous education, preparing them well for leadership roles in today’s complex business environments,” says Heather Chakiris, senior advisor of online undergraduate programming and initiatives at the College of Business and Economics.
With CSUF’s Online B.A. in Business Administration program, looking for a parking space, taking public transportation to campus, and trying to balance a work schedule with class meetings aren’t issues at all. Students can study anytime and anywhere they want through online coursework. In addition, the cohort-based program provides structure and fosters collaboration, helping students build lasting professional connections.
Affordability is a major benefit of the Online B.A. in Business Administration. Out of dozens of schools assessed using 2022-2023 data from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), Cal State Fullerton’s online program is in the top 15th percentile in affordability, with a lower percentile referencing greater cost savings. Tuition is 47% more affordable than the average for online business programs nationwide. Free and discounted software, scholarships and financial aid enhance the savings.
“Online learners at the College of Business and Economics are inviting in more than the classes they are taking,” says Chakiris. “They are also giving themselves the gift of access to a support network of academic and career-readiness experts who walk beside online learners on their path to graduation.” Online business students have full access to Business Career Services, which includes résumé preparation, job search strategies, and internships. The advising team supports academic success and connects students to resources like the Pollak Library, Writing Centers, and Disability Support Services to ensure they stay on track for graduation.
Students enjoy the same privileges of on-campus students such as free admission to most athletic events, discounted tickets to campus arts events, and much more! In the words of Chakiris: “Online B.A. students at CSUF are true Titans.”
