DEGREES
Business Administration and Management
Because today’s companies want managers who understand technology, know how to lead and can motivate their work force, these abilities are regularly emphasized throughout GGU’s business administration and management programs. In addition to core business functions, you’ll be trained in the rapidly evolving computer and information systems technologies. You’ll learn how to work with co-workers cooperatively and how to form alliances — important skills in a marketplace that increasingly depends on autonomous, global teamwork to complete projects. You will be equipped with the skills and tools to analyze problems and design and implement solutions through the use of an intensive case-study method of instruction — and our cases often come directly from the current field.
Information Technology Management
The convergence of people, business and information is the driving force in technology-driven business today. In the 21st-century business world, business and information technologies are increasingly interdependent in their support of operational and strategic opportunities across the enterprise. The melding of these forces puts a premium on professionals who have theoretical and applied skills in these areas. GGU’s information technology management program offers you the opportunity to gain expertise in business and IT operations, including the interrelated areas of strategic information technology management, application development and management, and network/telecommunications development and management of the digitally enabled firm. By graduation, you will have an in-depth knowledge of IT systems and the skills to design, implement and manage their use within an organization.

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
Undergraduate Programs offers two sets of required courses for undergraduates: basic proficiency courses and liberal studies core courses. Basic proficiency courses will build your skills and confidence in written and spoken communication, mathematics and critical thinking. Liberal studies core courses add value to your professional education by equipping you with the knowledge and insights to understand and participate in the rapid changes affecting our world.
Imagine taking a history course such as Business in World History, which traces world cultural and commercial interaction from the beginnings of ocean navigation to the present era of cyberspace. Other courses examine how business is portrayed in novels and films, how the insights of great philosophers can be applied to today’s ethical dilemmas, and how modern leaders face the day-to-day challenges of diversity, competition and cooperation in businesses and organizations.
All of the specially designed courses in arts, history, humanities, literature, philosophy, science and social sciences bring the unique perspectives of these disciplines to the problems and issues of modern business and professional practice. Your general education classes will relate to the rest of your studies, making your overall education an interactive, unified experience.
In addition to these course offerings, Undergraduate Programs also provides one-on-one tutoring to GGU students in the English Writing Center and the Math Resource Center, and on the Web through the Online Writing Lab (OWL) and the Math Online Tutor Help (MOTH). These free services are staffed by GGU instructors and trained professional tutors who are there to help you succeed.
Academic review workshops are offered by Undergraduate Programs as well as the Ageno School of Business during the first three weeks of the trimester. They are free of charge for all students.
