"Given how entrepreneurial Americans are, on the whole, it's maybe not surprising that business studies, in general, is the most popular college major for undergraduates," said the article's lead researcher Raj Dash. "In fact, according to NCES data for the 2012-13 Academic Year (AY), nearly 20% of bachelor's degrees awarded were collectively in various business topics. Second place was health-related programs at nearly 10% -- about half that of the number of business graduates, but which has gained slightly since then.
"Business has been fairly consistently at #1-3 for at least the past 40+ years, increasing steadily in bachelor's degrees awarded since the 1970-71 AY. It overtook the number of undergrad Education degrees awarded sometime between 1970-71 AY and 1980-81 AY. Business also overtook another formerly more popular topic, Social Sciences / History, sometime between 1970-71 AY and 1975-76 AY.
"This article covers online offerings in bachelor's of business administration and management degrees. These are programs that are either fully or partly online."
Rankings for this list were compiled with data from NCES, a bureau of the Dept. of Education (http://nces.ed.gov/). We queried for institutions that grant bachelor's degrees in "Business Administration and Management, General," on a distance education basis, then applied our standard data filters. This includes sorting data by increasing average annual net price, and manually selecting the 20 most affordable colleges with active online degree programs (BA, BBA, BS, etc.) in this topic. Similar topical rankings are published at AffordableSchools (http://affordableschools.net) -- a college search and rankings site with a focus on affordable colleges and programs -- on a regular basis.
