College of Business Administration

The College of Business Administration offers both Bachelor of Business Administration degrees and the Master of Business Administration degree. Fully accredited by AACSB, the College of Business Administration schedules courses to allow students to earn their degrees by attending classes during either day or evening hours. Most students earning business degrees are working in the local community, and many of them are working full-time. The College of Business Administration maintains high quality programs while meeting the educational needs of its current and potential student body.

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.
