The Associate of Elected Studies (AES) program curriculum provides an avenue for adult students with little or no college experience to earn a degree at the associate and/or bachelor's level in an accelerated format.

In the fall of 1993, Thomas More College introduced an accelerated Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree for working professionals. Since then, nearly 2,000 students have enrolled in the Thomas More Accelerated Program (TAP). TAP students may complete their BBA in as little as 24 months, depending upon their previous college experience. BBA concentrations are available in personal finance, marketing and management.

The Bachelor of Business Administration in Health Care Management (BBA-HCM) degree program is designed to prepare students for further graduate study or a variety of entry and mid-level career and leadership opportunities in the global and dynamic health care services arena. The program is also designed to prepare the student for opportunities that address the needs and demands involved in the operation of health services in a variety of settings.

Since 1996, Thomas More College has helped hundreds of professionals throughout the Greater Cincinnati area complete their Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees while maintaining their professional and personal commitments. Through the use of the continuing case project, the Thomas More graduate program offers a comprehensive look at decision making in a specific organization. This comprehensive approach allows students to study decision making from a broad-based perspective. The Master's Project in the Thomas More curriculum allows students to apply business research techniques in a very hands-on approach. Students find that this allows them to establish a critical link between academic theory and business application.
