At Thomas More University, we provide our students with the knowledge and skills they need to further their education and make the most out of their careers. With our Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree, our BBA students become business leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators who do more than what is expected. They share what they have learned to help their organizations, people, and communities grow.
The Business Administration Department is the largest academic department at Thomas More University, and in a 2019 Georgetown University report, Thomas More was ranked #1 in Kentucky for ROI (Return on Investment) out of 28 public and private colleges and universities, with the highest long-term gain—at more than $1 million.
“One morning, I woke up and realized I had a great life but didn’t have a great career. I needed to get them better in balance, and Thomas More seemed to be the answer to that.”
Chris Fischer ’95, BBA, President & CEO, Systems Insight, Inc.
According to Niche.com, Thomas More is the 6th ranked BBA university in Kentucky.
Earning a Bachelor of Business Administration degree might be the next step in your career, but it shouldn’t be your last. The Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report illustrating that the more degrees you earn, the higher your salary potential. And the less likely you will find yourself unemployed during an economic downturn.

*To meet accreditation standards, bachelor degrees require a total of 120 total credit hours, which includes the required courses above to earn your BBA. 30 hours of general electives may be transferred in from other universities, or you may opt to complete your Associate of Elected Studies in Management (AES) on your way to earning your BBA to get to 120 total hours. Our personal advisors will help design just the right curriculum for you!
Since every student has different needs, and some transfer in previously earned credit hours (up to 90), we will work with each student to create an individualized package that includes all financial aid options, scholarships, VA education benefits, etc., in which you are eligible. Our advisors can evaluate your transcripts and see what credits will transfer. Many employers also offer tuition reimbursement, and we can help you better understand your organization’s benefits.
An estimated cost of attendance (COA) for our accelerated undergraduate programs is available here. Included in the Saints resource fee is a $120 to $160 per course stipend that will apply toward the cost of your course materials.
