Business Administration

Chestnut Hill College’s Accelerated Adult Degree Program is designed for the adult learner. The Business Administration program emphasizes the importance of integrating your liberal arts curriculum with a solid foundation of business courses to prepare you to solve real-life business problems in a socially sensitive, ethical manner. You will learn how to analyze both qualitative and quantitative variables in decision-making as you develop the skills needed to succeed as a business professional. This program will also prepare you for graduate studies in business administration or finance.

“I appreciate that the professors are so giving of their time to make sure that you understand the material and help your continued progress through the program. My goal is to start my own business when I graduate and, in fact, the things that I have been taught in the classroom have also helped me work in new ways to be more efficient in my current job.”
