Are business degrees in demand in the workforce?

Data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that people who hold a bachelor’s degree earn more per week on average and experience lower unemployment rates than those with a high school diploma.³

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics summarizes it like this: Each level of education you complete may help you develop more skills, give you access to higher-paying occupations, and signal that you’re able to follow through on important tasks, such as planning ahead and meeting deadlines, that employers value.⁴

There is no application fee at AIU, and with 10 flexible start dates per year, there is no wait to start your education. The Program Overview and Courses sections outline the academic requirements to successfully complete a bachelor’s degree program at AIU.

Is an associate degree in business administration better than a bachelor’s in business?

Deciding whether to pursue an associate degree or bachelor’s degree depends on your academic and career plans in the near and long term. Typically, an associate’s degree can be earned in two years and at a lower cost than in a bachelor’s program, which usually takes four years. Completing a business degree program sooner may help graduates get out into the business world and start building on-the-job experience.

A bachelor’s degree program takes more time, but it is also designed to provide students with a more robust business education that may be required for more roles than an associate degree. AIU’s online associate and bachelor's degree programs allow students to do both. You can start working on your business education sooner by completing a two-year associate program and then applying those credits to get a head start on your bachelor’s degree in business.
