Every college student has to start somewhere. A large number of students in the Mike Cottrell College of Business start by seeking an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree in core curriculum with pathway courses related to business administration. An associate’s degree is considered to be the first two years of a college education. After completion of an associate’s degree, students may then choose to continue their college education by pursuing a bachelor’s degree or seek a job in the business world.
An A.A. degree in core curriculum with pathway courses related to business administration in business includes the basic core curriculum for all liberal arts students and 18 semester hours of business courses. This degree by the UNG catalog comprises Areas A-F of any bachelor of business administration (B.B.A.) degree program.
