Management - Performance Based, Bachelor of Arts
Identical to the BA in Management in terms of program outcomes, the performance-based mode of delivery allows students to move directly to the completion of assignments. Best suited to independent students with some work experience already obtained, these classes are self-paced and self-directed. You can tackle immediately those things you already know, while reserving time for those things you need to learn more about. This format allows you to speed up, or slow, down, your course completion based on the other demands in your life. Talk to an advisor to learn if this format might be right for you. Courses are offered only online in this format.
In addition to City University of Seattle's undergraduate admission requirements, found under Admissions in the catalog menu, students in this program must also meet the requirements listed below:
Because this mode of teaching requires students to be self-paced within specific time parameters it is important to make sure this teaching style works for students entering this program. The following additional program admission requirements must be met:
- Applicants must submit a detailed professional resume.
2. Applicants must submit a personally written essay to describe his/her experience and readiness to undertake the program of study. This essay should include the following:
a. Statement about self-direction and time management skills (accustomed to working with little to no guidance, comfortable structuring and following self-imposed deadlines, etc.).
b. Description of how the student plans to find the time for this academic effort (15-20 credits in a given quarter). How will the student make sure this fits with work and family life?
