Business, Management and Economics, Concentration in Business Administration

Description

The Bachelor of Science in Business, Management, and Economics with a concentration in Business Administration helps one understand business organizations and their operations and to manage effectively in a business environment. The business administration concentration also serves as good preparation for a career in not-for-profit organizations. Students study traditional academic disciplines (such as economics) and professional subjects (such as marketing) that provide theory and concepts necessary for understanding business problems and decision-making. The courses focus on assisting students in applying theoretical knowledge to practical problems confronting business managers. Business administration students also examine the international, global, and ethical issues confronting organizations today.Students develop individualized degree programs suited to their needs and interests, and meeting the expectations of the concentration. Students can also earn college credit for life and work experience through ESC's prior learning assessment process.

So far very happy.

Empire State College is not for everyone. It is a school where communication is key and you as the individual learner has a responsibility to be engaged in your personal learning process. Overall the school is great. It is very inexpensive compared to many other colleges in the area of where I live, and is cheap compared with all online colleges that are for-profit, and they can charge 7-10 times the amount of ESC. The ...

I was told the MBA program would take around 15+ hours per week for 2 classes per semester. While I have straight As, it is way more like 30-40 hours per week. It is nearly impossible for anyone who works full time and has a family. ESC does not understand the concept that time is money either. The on-line discussions often spiral into inane discussions with little feedback. It's almost like reading a crazy person's ...

Good School, some good instructors.
April 6, 2011
I really enjoy this school. I have read some bad reviews about the instructors and staff, but like any school there are good and bad people. I usually check for reviews of instructors prior to registration, this helps me pick instructors that are the best available. I love the fact that this is a SUNY school. The SUNY network isn't a bad school system at all. Many people feel that teachers do not participate in ...

MBA Excellent
December 11, 2009
I went to SUNY Oneonta for undergrad and learned more in the initial residency offered by SUNY Empire's MBA program than the 4 years at Oneonta. I went into the work force for about 6 years then returned to complete my MBA. I have 6 classes left and have learned a tremdous amount. I cannot emphasize enough the VALUE here. I have been in the traditional class room as well as virtual and find ESC ...

Positive Overall
November 15, 2009
I began my studies at ESC CDL in 2003 and completed in 2007. My decision to attend ESC was driven by its value and the flexibility it offered me as a working parent. I was generally pleased with the fact that many transfer credits from other NYS-based institutions were accepted, and I was granted 16 experiencial credits. ESC's determination of my advanced standing was done in a way that conveyed to me academic integrity. Prior ...

ESC is a Great for a Busy Lifestyle!
June 19, 2009
I started taking online courses through University of Phoenix for two semesters and I realized that I wasn't getting what I wanted, so I started with Empire State with the CDL courses. I just graduated in June 2009 and I am so pleased with the education I have earned at ESC! I am a working professional with a busy family and ESC fit right into my busy life. I was able to earn credits for ...

Great Program
May 6, 2009
I am very happy with my experience at ESC. If you are looking for a great online education at a reasonable price ESC is the way to go. No need to worry about its credibility since it is backed by SUNY. Most of the professors are great, some are involved more than others. I received my AA degree from a different online college and can tell you that ESC is dedicated to their online students. ...

I came across this site while searching for a college to pursue my MBA and after reading the first comment here I felt compelled to add my experiences with ESC. First, the site was rarely unavailable, and was announced if it was to become so.

Second, most of the professors I had were of a high caliber and their critiques were generally given in an acceptable time-frame. I had a problem with a couple professors but I know that is par for the course, just another learning lesson. 

I thought the courses were quite rigorous and were graded fairly. The text books were excellent and usually the latest versions, which I liked. Bottom line is that I know that I learned what was needed in order to acquire a BS in Business Administration and get out in the business world and succeed, because I am doing just that.

I personally do not think you could go wrong choosing ESC for your degree.

Good Luck!
