College of Business Administration

The College of Business Administration prepares students for leadership and service in business, the professions, and government, and for becoming responsible citizens and leaders in society. Viewing organizations as operating in a dynamic social, political, and economic environment, the College has determined the following as its mission:

Our mission is to prepare students for career success by providing quality baccalaureate and master's level education in business disciplines.

Our teaching helps students develop professional competence, enhance the quality of their lives, and appreciate the need for continuous learning and renewal. Our programs are managed to accommodate students who live and work in the greater Augusta metropolitan area.

We engage in scholarship that strengthens classroom instruction and assists the community and the business professions. We provide service to the University in faculty governance, to the community through professional, civic, and charitable activities, and to the business professions through involvement in professional organizations and programs.

The College of Business Administration is advised and supported by an advisory board chaired by Mr. H. M. Osteen, Jr., Retired Chairman of the Board, Banker's First.
