Program Description

The Bachelor’s in Business Administration focuses on the functional areas of business – including management, marketing, economics, finance, accounting, law, and statistics. It is designed to provide students with a strong academic foundation in core business functions including general business administration, accounting, finance, project management, information technology, human resources, marketing, international business, logistics and organizational behavior. These competencies are flexible enough that upon graduation, careers in a variety of different fields may be available.

The entire degree program can be completed in just one year and all coursework is offered entirely online, making this the perfect option for students in all locations.

This degree is offered through The College of Mount St. Vincent (CMSV) and St. Peter’s University (SPU). Each college has its own set of requirements and financial aid opportunities.

Your ideal college choice depends on your location and financial aid eligibility.

  • New Jersey Residents: SPU is the ideal option as potential financial aid and scholarship benefits for NJ residents are very substantial and can significantly reduce the cost of the program. 
  • New York Residents: CMSV may be the ideal option as potential financial aid benefits for NYS residents are greatest when attending a NYS college.
  • Students who reside outside of NY/NJ choose SPU, as potential scholarships are greatest when attending this institution.

What are the admission requirements?

• High School Transcript
• A 3-credit college-level math prerequisite is required for acceptance into the program, which must be completed prior to the start of the semester. Your coordinator will notify you about how to earn these credits at your interview (if applicable).

Which credits can be applied towards the BBA degree?
The Offices of the Registrar at CMSV and SPU grant transfer credits to students who have completed courses at accredited institutions and have provided their official transcripts for evaluation. The Offices of the Registrar evaluate and accept only credits that are applicable to the student’s program of study and reflect a final grade of ‘C’ or above. Accepted credits are applied to the student’s record, reflected on their academic planner, but not calculated into their College GPA. The transfer credit planner will also be shared with the student’s advisor to assist with schedule creation and developing a graduation plan. Acceptable transfer credit options vary and include, but are not limited to, the following: Traditional college credits, CLEP (College Level Examination Program) Exams, AP (Advanced Placement) scores, VLE (Validated Learning Experiences), IB (International Baccalaureates), CAPE (Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Exam), A-Levels and Military credits, and Coopersmith Exams.
When and where are classes offered?
There are two classes on Sunday, plus two weeknight classes. All classes for this degree take place online.
How much does the degree cost?

College of Mt. St. Vincent

If taken through CMSV, the cost for this degree is approximately $19,500.

Tuition for the undergraduate programs is $1200 per 3-credit course.

During the program, students typically take 15 courses (over three semesters) for a total cost of $18,000. All courses taken through CMSV may be covered by financial aid.

In addition to seminary credits, a student will likely need to take a limited number of additional exams or courses to complete her degree. These additional courses cost approximately $1,500. We provide personalized guidance to ensure that this is accomplished affordably and efficiently.

St. Peter’s University

If taken through St. Peter’s University (SPU), the price for the full program is $22,000 before scholarships are applied.

To make this degree program as affordable and accessible as possible, St. Peter’s University has agreed to substantially reduce the cost for students who register through Sara Schenirer. The cost varies based on the number of credits the student takes.

For eligible students, the cost of the college courses may be entirely covered by financial aid. Students who are not eligible for financial aid will still be entitled to significant grants and/ or scholarships that substantially reduce the cost of the degree.

Additionally, payment plans are available each semester.

Our advisors will be glad to explain the cost structure to you so you can see for yourself how truly affordable this degree program can be for you.

Can I receive financial aid?

Eligible students can receive financial aid for the portion of the degree taken through CMSV or SPU.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can be completed online at this link. SPU students must submit the FAFSA, and MSV students are strongly encouraged to do so as well. Be sure to complete the correct year’s application.

What percentage of students graduate?
Our exceptional guidance counselors work with every single student, enabling the vast majority of our students to graduate on schedule with all requirements completed.
What if I get married or relocate during the program?
Since this is an online program, location is not a factor provided the student remains in a similar time zone. Relocating to Eretz Yisroel requires separate arrangements which will need to be coordinated on an individual basis.

Where can your degree take you?

While the following positions are only a sample of the possible careers a student with a business administration degree may pursue, they demonstrate the numerous industries and organizational roles that may be available in the business field.

Sales Manager

A sales manager oversees a company’s sales team and is ultimately responsible for revenue production within an organization. Responsibilities typically include setting sales goals, analyzing sales data, and creating sales training programs for the sales representatives. Sales managers also project sales and assess the profitability of products and services.

Business Consultant

Business consultants, also referred to as management consultants, help companies propose ways to improve a business’s efficiency. They advise managers on how to make an organization more profitable through reduced costs and increased revenue. Management consultants generally organize information about a problem and design a procedure for improvement, recommend new systems and organization changes, and confer with managers to ensure changes are working.

Market Research Analyst

A market research analyst helps a company understand who its customers are, what products they should be selling, and how they can successfully promote those products. Market research analysts often design surveys and train and supervise interviewers who conduct the surveys. They then analyze the research and report the results to management.

HR Specialist

While the primary function of human resources specialists is to recruit, screen, interview and hire employees, most human resources specialists are trained in all HR functions, and therefore they frequently handle other human resources work, such as employee relations, compensation, and benefits, and training. These daily tasks could include processing payroll and administering benefits, as well as ensuring all human resources functions are in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.

“The BA in Business Administration was a well-run program that gave me the tools I needed to excel at my job.”
Shira Summers
“I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and skills from the courses. Each course built on the others to provide a clear and comprehensive degree program. My professors were incredible and dedicated to their students. They gave us extra time and held our hands through the difficult parts of the course. I felt very looked after and cared for in Sara Schenirer.”
Naomi Green
Mrs. Basie Flaumenhaft, the director of the program, was always there to support us. She met with each student before a semester to hear their feedback on courses, discuss the schedule that would make sense for them, and hear any concerns that the student might have. I feel that the level of student guidance that Sara Schenirer offered us was unreal! It made the entire experience a pleasure instead of a stress!”
Elisheva Spira
“The BA in Business Administration was exactly what I was looking for! A program that caters to frum women and girls, works around our schedule, and accommodates our cultural sensitivities. Sara Schenirer was all that and more! I am grateful to have chosen to join this program and look forward to graduating next semester.”
