Located in Siloam Springs, John Brown University offers quality on-campus academic programs and online degree opportunities. The institution powers its distance education platform with Blackboard Learn. JBU's online undergraduate programs are degree completion tracks that require applicants to transfer at least 45 credits earned with a minimum 2.0 GPA. Regardless of their residency status, all distance learners benefit from the same affordable tuition rate. JBU facilitates tuition discounts through community partnerships. Online bachelor's degrees include psychology and organizational leadership. Students can also earn a liberal arts degree, concentrating the curriculum on either communications or politics and ethics. The former track covers topics such as political communication and marketing principles, preparing candidates to work as digital journalists and freelance writers. Additionally, JBU offers a remote bachelor of business administration program totaling 120 credits. BSBA candidates develop the communication skills and technical knowledge to create data-centered organization strategies for a globalized economy. Graduates may then pursue entry-level occupations or attend graduate business schools.
