What you'll study

The BBA in Management and Operations builds a foundation in accounting, finance, marketing and management, then moves into specialised subjects that address how organisations design, run and improve processes. You will study quantitative and analytical methods alongside people-focused management topics to prepare for roles that require both technical and leadership skills.

• Core business foundations: financial accounting, managerial accounting, corporate finance, marketing principles, organisational behaviour and business law.
• Operations and supply chain: operations management, supply chain management, logistics, procurement and service operations.
• Analytics and quantitative methods: statistics for business, operations research, decision analysis and use of data tools for process improvement.
• Management skills: project management, strategic management, human resource management and leadership development.
• Integration and practice: capstone projects, case studies, simulation courses and opportunities for internships or co‑operative experiences with firms in the New York metropolitan area.
• Electives and concentrations: students can typically choose electives or minor subjects in areas such as entrepreneurship, international business, sustainability in operations, information systems or supply chain analytics.

Courses emphasise applied learning: expect team projects, software and simulation use, site visits, and partnership projects with industry that reinforce classroom theory with real operational problems.
