A key advantage of IWU's distance learning program is the opportunity it gives you to work with faculty from a wide variety of backgrounds and viewpoints. Learn from a diverse team of business professionals with international management and leadership skills, without ever having to set foot in a classroom. You receive the same education our students attending classes onsite at Indiana Wesleyan University do, and you learn from instructors who are not only academicians, but active leaders in their fields, as well. The majority of our faculty are top professionals who work daily with the subject matter they are teaching. When you choose the IWU distance learning school, you join an affordable Business Administration degree program of the highest excellence in education today.

Along with their pool of practical knowledge, IWU facilitators bring a spirit of innovation to the virtual classroom. They embrace online education instead of typical classroom roles, and many chose to earn their own advanced degrees online before they began to teach in distance learning programs. They are passionate about the IWU Business Administration curriculum, and they share their passion and knowledge with their students.
