Career Services

The majority of students enrolling in the BOT/BA degree program entered with specific goals in mind. Most graduates are already involved in a career and need the academic credential for promotions or other career opportunities. A significant number of graduates continue to post-baccalaureate studies resulting in master degrees, doctorates, or professional certifications. A smaller number of graduates earn the degree for personal reasons unrelated to a career or to pursuing advanced degrees. In addition, graduates have also successfully used the degree to gain entry level jobs in a variety of business, industrial, government, and human services organizations.

What Our Students Say...

• "Upon completion of my BOT/BA degree, I was promoted from Master Sergeant to Sergeant Major in the US Army. I am convinced this promotion was due to my BOT degree."
• "BOT/BA degree started it all in the pursuit for higher education. (I earned three degrees after graduation)."
• "The option to apply for positions where a degree is required to submit an application was opened to me after completing the BOT/BA degree. I was able to move into more professional level positions. This was the purpose I had for completing the program and it has served that purpose well."
• "Since my graduation, I am now running and operating a business that brings in over seven million dollars a year, as an Executive Director. This would not have been possible without the BOT/BA degree!"
