Empire State University Launches First Online Degree in Business Offered Fully in Spanish

(SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY) — Empire State University announces the launch of SUNY’s first Spanish-language online degree program—a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)—a groundbreaking initiative designed to meet the needs of Spanish-speaking students. The university will welcome its first cohort of students in this program in Fall 2025.

Developed in partnership with SUNY, Empire State University’s Spanish BBA program will be taught fully online and entirely in Spanish, with wraparound student supports, such as financial aid, accessibility, and tutoring, offered by faculty and staff who are native or near-native Spanish speakers. Empire State University is building the infrastructure to provide the full student experience in Spanish, including investments in technology, academic support, and staffing. The university has hired new faculty and staff to support this innovative program.

The Spanish BBA, a 124-credit program, will mirror its English-language counterpart, covering a range of courses including marketing, financial accounting, management principles, and resource management. The program will also offer a selection of general education courses in Spanish, including courses in science, math, humanities, the arts, and history. The program has been reviewed and approved by SUNY and the New York State Education Department.
