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.
