Accelerated Bachelors Degree in Business Administration (ABBA)

DeAnn

I was excited to learn that Fresno State offered the ABBA program, which allowed me to continue to work full-time and attend classes at night and on Saturdays. I was able to earn my Bachelor's Degree at the prestigious Craig School of Business. This achievement will open many doors for me and give me an advantage when applying for a job.

About the Program

The Accelerated Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration (ABBA) enables students to complete the last two years of their degree within 17 months. Students complete the program as a cohort from start to finish. The cohort format guarantees students’ placement in the necessary classes each semester.

ABBA courses are scheduled to allow students to work while completing their degrees. Face-to-face classes are scheduled during the evening and weekend hours or online. Courses are taught by distinguished Craig School of Business faculty.

The 61-unit program is designated as a "special option" within the Craig School of Business, and coursework emphasizes general business administration. Students interested in a more specialized curriculum should consider applying for regular University admission as transfer students and selecting from the available options in the Craig School.

Location

ABBA cohorts are available in Fresno. The cohort meets at California State University, Fresno's University Business Center on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and alternating Saturdays.
