Matthew Seawright '19 chose Southern New Hampshire University to finish his business degree because he said it offered him the best opportunity to learn the skills he needed to succeed in the modern workplace.
“By going back to school it put me in the know and on a level playing field with my peers,” he said. “It taught more about the business world, especially today’s business world.”
For Jean Besson '14, who earned his BS in Business Administration, finishing a degree gave him the fuel he needed to get his foot in the door.
"My degree from SNHU is a confidence booster. It gives me the right to sit at the table and ask questions," Besson said. "My breakthrough moment was having that degree from SNHU. It allowed me to say, 'OK, I'm qualified.'"
If you're looking to earn an online business degree, you've come to the right place.
Not only do we offer the BS in Business Administration with several concentration options, we also offer 200+ online bachelor's, master's and associate degrees across many high-demand fields, including 18 MBA programs.

Students from all across the globe have chosen to learn online at SNHU – giving them a flexible, affordable alternative to a traditional classroom experience. For some, taking the next step in their career wouldn't be possible without the option to learn online.
That's the case with Marissa Markelon '19. A winner of two women's motocross championships, Markelon needed a program she could complete on the road between races.
"It helped me learn how to better utilize time management," Markelon said. "It made me realize I was capable of more than I believed."
Worried you don't have enough technological experience to enroll in the program? Don't be.
"I loved the program. I loved that it was online," said Lynda Jarrett '23. "Being 65 and being challenged by having to do everything online and learn the computer was a little intimidating at first, but then I realized that I could do it — just like everyone else."
A foundation in business can help prepare you for any number of occupations or industries. Ultimately, though, whether or not a business degree is "worth it" depends entirely on you and your goals.
For Bambi Dixon '19, the answer is clear:
"I feel that my degree was 100% worth the time, money, sacrifice and energy that was needed to complete it," she said. "I have never cried when receiving a piece of mail until I opened the envelope from SNHU that contained my diploma."
Upon graduating, Dixon continued her journey with SNHU – this time as a student of the MS in Healthcare Administration program.
"I have always been a strong proponent of education and feel that we should all continue to learn and expand our horizons in order to continue to evolve as a human race and will continue to encourage the path of education to anyone that seeks it," she said.
Typically, a 120-credit bachelor's degree in business takes about 4 years to complete.
But at SNHU, every student journey is different. If you have previous credits you'd like to transfer into your program, for example, we're happy to work with you.
On average, students transferring into our BS in Business Administration program bring in about 40 transfer credits. That said, SNHU accepts up to 90 credits toward your bachelor's, meaning you could have as few as 10 courses – and as few as 5 terms – to get your degree. With only 10 courses to complete and six 8-week terms per year, you could earn your bachelor's from SNHU in just over a year saving you time and money.
We try to make online learning as seamless and quick as you want it to be. Because we believe, no matter where you've started, SNHU is where you can finish strong – and save time and tuition along the way.
We believe that cost should never stand in the way of your education. That's why we offer some of the lowest online tuition rates in the nation.
Our rate is $330 per credit, and a bachelor's in business requires 120 credits to complete. That said, there are plenty of ways to manage and save – even on these already low rates – such as grants and scholarships, financial aid, transfer credits and more.
Plus, if you're a military service member or a military spouse, you could be eligible for a number of military benefits – including up to 30% tuition discounts.
