The Online B.S. in Business offers a core business curriculum infused throughout with the ideas and ideals of ethics and corporate social responsibility in a networked, technologically-sophisticated environment. Our goal is to produce graduates who have mastered the fundamentals of business yet also have an awareness of their place in a strikingly interdependent world, who are well-grounded but also highly versatile, knowledgeable but also receptive and flexible. In Online B.S. in Business courses, you will learn that:

• The successful businesses of today and tomorrow – from small entrepreneurial startups to large multinational corporations – will foster a winning combination of financial strength, technological connectedness, ethical integrity and corporate social responsibility.
• The successful organization of the future will be one that respects values even as it creates value and, indeed, will take the lead in these areas.
• The increased intricacy of interrelationships (not just with consumers, shareholders, and other businesses, but with governments, among nations, and international or transnational relationships) puts new stress on ethics and corporate social responsibility, which become key to thinking through complexity.
• The ethical dimension becomes a constant touchstone in a networked world where scandals erode trust, profits are sought at the expense of the environment, national interests complicate international trade, and short-term gains must be weighed against long-term consequences.
• The online medium will help you cultivate a commitment to lifelong learning – essential to success in a global economy that changes rapidly and requires perpetual adaptation.

Today's highly complex business environment is marked by increasing interdependence. This interdependence has both technological and social aspects as well as global reach. Business, like society in general, has been riding the waves of new technologies and often innovating their uses, making myriad kinds of networked interaction commonplace in the corporate world. In a world of instantaneous connections where interdependence is complicated by entrepreneurship and competition, complexity is indeed the watchword. This complexity informs and enriches the Online B.S. in Business.
