Being able to complete my bachelor’s degree online, on my own time, is key for me. I am a parent, work full time, and run my own business. Because of my busy schedule, commuting to attend classes in person would not work for me. I can work on the BAS-AM program fully online, a great way to complete school.
I’m really happy with my decision to get my bachelor’s degree through Big Bend. At times it can be difficult to balance BAS-AM classes with my aviation ones, but my instructors are very understanding and helpful. Being completely online has made a big difference, it’s a lot easier to find time to do all the work.
