Aspen University is a United States-based private, for-profit, nationally accredited online university that was established in 1987. Aspen University has its origins in the International Academy, created in the 1960s to improve the way education was disseminated. The International Academy evolved into ISIM University, with a primary focus on technology and business education. In the late 1980s, operations moved to Colorado and in 1993, the University was successful in acquiring national accreditation with the Distance Education and Training Council, now the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC). In 2003, the University underwent a change in ownership, a name change to Aspen University, and a successful re-accreditation review.

Today, Aspen University offers online certificates, and online associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in three schools: School of Nursing and Health Sciences, School of Business and Technology, and School of Education. The School of Arts and Sciences provides general education coursework in support of the other schools. It retains institutional accreditation with DEAC.

The economy is changing fast. What it means to succeed in business is changing, too—and Aspen’s Bachelor of Science in Business Administration program is helping to prepare the next generation of leaders. Our bachelor’s degree in Business Administration gears students to pursue management careers across a spectrum of industries, preparing you for positions in a wide variety of professional settings in business and management.

The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration curriculum balances core liberal arts courses in areas such as history, psychology, mathematics, and science with business-focused courses including Strategic Management, Customer Relationship Management, International Business, and Internet Marketing. Graduates of our Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree will have a solid grasp of the key areas of management, organization, and communication—the essential ingredients for success as well-rounded professionals in today’s changing business landscape.

For students who have accumulated undergraduate credits and would like to transfer those studies to a recognized and accredited college degree program, Aspen also offers a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree completion program.
