Management and International Business Co-Major BBA



Overview

The undergraduate major in International Business is offered only as a co-major along with any other major within the Terry College. The following paragraphs provide information on the International Business and Management co-major.

A primary objective of the Management major is to help students develop the perspective, skill, and knowledge needed to manage and lead the modern organization more effectively. What makes the life of a manager so interesting is that it requires one to address such a wide variety of problems—financial, material, human, legal, political, and environmental—almost every day. No other career provides such a rich mixture of challenges. To be successful under such conditions, students must be able to work with and through groups of people toward a common end and be able to communicate with others (in both written and oral form) the mission, goals, objectives, and direction of the organization which they are chosen to lead. Further, in an increasingly complex and global business environment, students must be able to think creatively with regard to problem solving in all areas of the enterprise.

The common program of study for students who are candidates for the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) offers excellent opportunities to select coursework which may well serve a variety of personal development goals in meeting the professional challenges outlined above. Within the Management major itself, the required "Management Core" is designed to provide students with exposure to the central issues and competencies required for managers facing the twenty-first century. Through appropriate selection of major elective courses, students may better prepare for career opportunities that utilize the specialized knowledge and skills offered in more specific areas.

In addition to coursework, there are other means of achieving personal developmental needs for a career in management. A primary opportunity is through involvement in any of the many campus organizations, such as the Management Society. For a complete listing, stop by the Information Desk at the Tate Center. Because managers are "joiners" and leaders, the best way to develop and demonstrate the qualities necessary for successful management is by joining and by leading whenever and wherever an opportunity occurs. Campus organizations provide just such an opportunity.

A growing number of foreign and U.S. companies transact a significant portion of their business through international channels. More and more businesses must go abroad to find new markets as domestic markets mature. Even those corporations conducting business strictly in this country have to compete with foreign imports and for foreign labor. As a result, major corporations that are taking advantage of international opportunities have a competitive edge. The Terry College of Business has designed its International Business program to provide opportunities for students to gain the knowledge and skills required for international business careers. The program also assists students in developing an understanding of the business processes and institutions of the international economy.

The curriculum is designed to develop a deep knowledge of a functional area as well as a strong concentration in a foreign language. In addition to the basic undergraduate business curriculum, international business co-majors are also required to take three of the following seven courses: Diversity in a Global Environment (BUSN 4650), The International Business Environment (ECON 4040), International Finance (FINA 4810), Internship in International Business (INTB 4800), International Legal Transactions for Business (LEGL 4900), International Strategic Management (MGMT 5560), International Marketing (MARK 4700), and Globalization and IT (MIST 5780). In addition to the BBA requirements, all students co-majoring in International Business must satisfy an international immersion requirement, such as a study abroad program, an internship in International Business, or additional foreign languages.

With careful planning, students can complete the co-major within the current 121 hours required for graduation. For further information, go to https://www.terry.uga.edu/degrees-and-programs/
