Business studies refer to a discipline area that consists of classes such as finance, marketing, leadership, and money management. Classes may be taken as part of a particular degree or to prepare students for a business career.

Working business professionals seeking positions with greater responsibility may study toward an Executive Master of Business Administration degree. EMBA programs typically combine theory and practice to ready students for leadership and management positions in the corporate world.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
