So you want to make an impact? You've come to the right place.

Our 4+1 programs give you a competitive edge, allowing you to earn your bachelor's and master's degrees in as few as five years. 

Working professionals don't always have the time for in-person learning. Our online programs allow you to earn a degree or certificate even with a busy schedule. 

We are committed to ensuring that you have the resources you need to thrive during every step of your academic journey. You will have the support you need academically and beyond through SBS Pathways (our advising office), SBS RISE, and additional university-level resources.
