    Management (B.B.A.)

    Managers desire to lead and administer organizations, departments, or teams toward meeting specific objectives. Their primary interest regardless of industry or departmental level is to live the leadership role employing the resources of people, information, and technology. Does this sound like you? If so, the management major might be for you.

    This major prepares Mike Cottrell College of Business (MCCB) students to understand management through the four functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. 

    You'll graduate with priority access to two of the Southeast’s fastest growing knowledge economies: the GA 400 and I-985 corridors. Mike Cottrell College of Business’ growing reputation and excellence of its management graduates provides superior hiring potential in this lucrative service area.

    What Your Journey as a Management Major Could Look Like

    Your First Year

    During your first year, you'll take the same core curriculum classes as all other first-year students. It’s a good time to explore classes that align with your interests and think about professions that excite students the most. Professional advisors are available to guide you with course choices.

    Sophomore Year

    You'll continue with your core curriculum, and also start your business courses. You'll take two accounting, two economics courses, as well as a business law and a computer information systems courses. 

    This is also a good time to explore clubs that align with your interests, like Enactus or the American Marketing Association. Learn more about clubs.

    Junior Year

    You'll be working through your B.B.A. Common Professional Component which includes courses in finance, marketing, statistics, operations, information systems, and international business. Management students may also take foundations of management early in their third year. Many students engage MCCB internships during this year. 

    Senior Year

    Your senior year is typically when you take your higher level major courses. This is the time most management majors are also taking concentration-specific courses which consist of four courses and one management-specific elective. All management majors also take organization behavior, as well as both project and human resource management.
