Why UM-Flint

RELEVANT COURSEWORK

The general business major provides students a broad business background and great flexibility to choose their course of study. Elective options from operations and supply chain management, accounting, finance, management, entrepreneurship, and international business allow students to customize their curriculum based on their career interests and aspirations.

ONLINE CONVENIENCE

The program’s online format leverages innovative technologies that ensure meaningful faculty-student interaction. It accommodates the learning styles and schedules of today’s busy students — whether those students are starting as freshmen or taking advantage of transferable credits earned at another institution. The program is also available in a traditional face-to-face format.

EXPERT U-M FACULTY

Faculty teaching general business courses have practical work experience that enhances the learning environment. Like all University of Michigan instructors, they have a passion for education and years of experience teaching and researching current business issues.

Alexis Snell

BBA in General Business '20 Hometown: Painesdale, MI (near Houghton)

As an online-only transfer student, the UM-Flint has given me the opportunity to make my long time dream of receiving my bachelor's degree possible. As a mother of 3 children and being employed full time, physically attending class was too far from reach. The courses are engaging and include the perfect amount of communication and teamwork. I am so grateful to have found the UM-Flint online business program and am proud to soon be an Alumna!"
