Because today’s companies want managers who understand tech-
nology, know how to lead and can motivate their work force,
these abilities are regularly emphasized throughout GGU’s busi-
ness 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, which 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 are often
directly from the current field.
BACHELOR OF ARTS IN MANAGEMENT (BAM)
With a flexible course of study designed to maximize the number of transfer credits counted toward the degree, the bachelor of arts degree in management may allow you to shorten the time it takes to complete an undergraduate business degree, while advancing your career. Degree candidates will acquire a core set of essential management concepts and techniques while learning to organize, motivate and lead individuals in diverse public and private business enterprises.
In addition, BA management students may also satisfy some or all of the foundation requirements for many of Golden Gate University’s graduate programs while earning this degree.
The BA in management requires completion of 123 units as follows: 27 units of lower-division coursework, 21 units of liberal studies core, 27 units required for the major and 48 units of general electives. Each course listed carries three semester units of credit, unless otherwise noted.
A cumulative grade point average of 2.00 (C) or higher is required in all courses taken at Golden Gate University, as well as in the courses designated “Required for the Major.” Prerequisites to a course, if any, are shown in the course descriptions.
All degree-seeking undergraduate students must complete their English, mathematics, and critical thinking basic proficiency requirements within their first 27 units at Golden Gate University. Diagnostic tests are given during the first week of ENGL 10A/B, ENGL 1A and MATH 10/20/30 to ensure your placement in the proper courses (see course descriptions in this catalog or at www.ggu.edu/info for details).
