About
The Department of Management and Marketing prepares undergraduate students to qualify for and excel in careers in management and marketing as well as in other professions where the theory and practice of these disciplines can be applied. The curriculum is grounded in the business core disciplines of economics, accounting, mathematics, and computer information systems. The majors then prepare students with solid business theory and application in business administration and marketing. Programs offered through the department provide a wide choice of advanced courses. The Department offers two majors and two minors in General Business and Marketing. The BBA degrees are accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business School and Programs (ACBSP) and the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) as well as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). Seniors may enroll in graduate programs that, paired with their undergraduate major, can lead to a Masters degree in five years. |
