If your day-to-day looks like mine, you’re speeding through your 8-5, racing to finish up your ongoing projects.

After work, you’re hanging out with friends at Yellowhammer or Gold Sprint, grabbing dinner at Jack Brown’s or The Standard and then jetting home to knock out some chores and catch up on sleep.

Between life and work, it’s hard to imagine how you’d ever fit in going back to school to move up in your Huntsville career. Luckily, we talked to a local expert and rounded up three key tips for you. Read on for all the details.

ASKING HUNTSVILLE: What do you do for work + how busy are you?

1. Continue your education in a flexible format

Huntsville is the most educated city in the state, so finishing up your undergraduate degree is the first key step to increasing your earning potential.

However, working full-time and finishing a degree is no joke. That’s why we set out to find a local solution that was flexible and affordable to do both.

The University of North Alabama’s Online BBA Flex Program proved to be just that, and Assistant Professor Dr. Sherrill helped us understand the degree better.

“We offer a lot of flexibility for students with different workloads and family responsibilities. Because we’ve had virtual programs for a while, our professors are very well-trained in teaching online.

Plus, we offer online office hours where students can meet with us.”

Dr. Lindsey Sherrill, Assistant Professor of Business Communication, UNA

Here’s what that flexibility looks like:

• Format: The Online BBA Flex has the same coursework as a traditional BBA, but it’s self-paced and 100% online.
• Eight-week course structure: As opposed to the traditional sixteen, the eight-week course structure means you only have to take two classes at once to finish four in a semester.
• Class lectures: They’re pre-recorded and short, so you can watch them from anywhere.
• Deadlines: There are only two per class, and you can work ahead.
• Office hours: The professors have virtual office hours, and they’re only 1.5 hours away if you want to meet in person!
• Apply today for the Online BBA Flex.
