MBU launches online bachelor’s RN to BSN completion, criminal justice, applied management and liberal arts degree programs.

Missouri Baptist University will begin offering four new bachelor’s degrees completely online this fall.

The new RN to BSN, criminal justice, applied management and liberal arts undergraduate programs will complement the five undergraduate programs MBU currently offers online.

“These new programs will enhance MBU Online’s objective of offering in-demand degree programs in an accessible and affordable manner,” said Dr. Amber Henry, associate vice president for extended learning. “Our programs have been tailor-made to prepare busy students whose many responsibilities make traditional education formats impractical for successful careers.”

MBU uses the myMBU portal for all distance learning. The platform Canvas is the program that all the classes will be housed in. Programs allow for more flexible schedules. There will be no required login times, professors set the deadlines and work can be completed during the day or night. Class work can be completed and submitted either through the traditional website or through the Canvas app. Even though the classes will be taught online our faculty is always available to students, either through skype, email or by phone. Students also have access to the online Library databases for research for classes.
