Business Administration Pathway

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.

What Is a Pathway

Your core curriculum classes are the college-level classes that everyone completes in their first and sophomore years of college. These are your foundational English, math, science and liberal arts classes.

When you choose a pathway, you take classes related to that subject in order to complete your core curriculum requirements. This allows you to explore your interests while working toward your goal of getting a degree in a subject you are passionate about and want to have a career in.

Once all of your pathway requirements are completed, you can earn the Associate of Arts or Science in Core Curriculum degree. You can then choose to enter the workforce, or seamlessly continue into a bachelor’s degree program at UNG.
