Along with a fully online MBA that students can earn in just one year, Kansas Wesleyan University delivers online and accredited bachelor's degrees in emergency management, criminal justice, and nursing. Online programs at the university provide additional flexibility, but they feature the same faculty, assignments, and overall academic rigor as on-campus offerings. Online learners can further customize their learning through various concentrations and minors. For example, the university's bachelor's in emergency management gives students the option to focus on business continuity or unmanned aircraft systems, while the undergraduate program in criminal justice allows learners to earn endorsements in domestic violence or offender management. Undergraduate applicants must hold a 2.5 high school GPA, a GED score of at least 550, or rank within the top 50% of their senior class. They must also earn a composite ACT score of at least 18 or an SAT score of at least 860. The online MBA program requires a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university with a minimum 3.0 GPA.
