Marshall’s online bachelor’s in business degree does not require you to choose a major. Instead, you’re able to take 24 credit hours in any combination of upper-level LCOB classes, in addition to required courses in general education (34 credits) and the business core (42 credits). This means that for your business major, you can take classes in any of these areas and create your own major—management, marketing, accounting or economics/finance. Your goal is to build broad business knowledge to gain a professional advantage in a wide variety of careers.

Marshall’s General Business bachelor’s degree provides better value than a specialized degree if you hope to work in many different company departments, oversee various aspects of the business environment, and want to maximize your potential for career advancement. In addition, earning your General Business bachelor’s degree leads to more options to pursue advanced education at the graduate level.
