An undergraduate who once had dreams of doing stem cell research, Tyler Wilson now sees himself as a business entrepreneur thanks to an online bachelor\u2019s in business administration<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

“I wanted to find an accredited business program that was online and offered a high quality educational experience. Ball State met all of those criteria.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Becoming a Leader with Ball State Online<\/h2>\n

Even before he logged into his first online course, Tyler Wilson knew he would be comfortable in an online classroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very engaged, self-motivated, self-directed,\u201d says Wilson, a student in Ball State\u2019s online bachelor\u2019s in business administration and an analyst in the claims department of an insurance company in Carmel, Indiana. \u201cI prefer the online classroom because I like being able to pause lectures or skip around to material that I need to hear again.\u201d<\/p>\n

A self-described \u201centrepreneur,\u201d Wilson sees himself as a future business exec. \u201cI would like to become a leader who helps create the vision and overall strategy of the company,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019d like to mentor other people and help them realize their own career goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Business Administration Means Broad Focus<\/h2>\n

Transitioning into Ball State\u2019s bachelor\u2019s in business administration was ideal because he was able to transfer in 50 credit hours from two universities previously attended, even though his original major was in biology. And he could complete exams online.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a senior now, I am glad I chose the business administration program because I was exposed to so many different areas of business,\u201d he says. Wilson graduated in December 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coursework has given me a big picture of how a company operates,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cThe different areas of business I\u2019m learning \u2013 accounting, finance, operations, management \u2013 help me to understand what makes a company successful.\u201d<\/p>\n
