The Colorado State University’s College of Business is in the “business of transforming lives.”“Outside of maintaining AACSB accreditation, one of the ways this is accomplished is through innovative technologies such as Mosaic. This distinct platform is the first in the United States to provide online, on-demand, and on-campus experiences through one comprehensive classroom. The program will be piloted in 2019 graduate courses and will be put into further effect in 2020.

Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration can be earned through the College of Business. Concentrations in Computer Information Systems, Real Estate, Accounting, and Supply Chain Management are available for those looking to personalize their degree.
