Auburn University at Montgomery

What you'll study

The programme combines general education requirements with a structured major in business. Core study areas include principles of accounting, financial management, microeconomics and macroeconomics, marketing, organisational behaviour, business law and ethics. You will also cover quantitative and analytical subjects such as business statistics, managerial economics and operations management, and develop competence in business information systems.

Students typically choose electives or a concentration to tailor the degree to career goals; common concentrations include accounting, finance, marketing, human resource management, supply chain/operations and entrepreneurship. Most students undertake a capstone or strategy course in their final year that integrates knowledge across the curriculum, and there are opportunities to complete internships, practicum projects or independent studies with local employers.

Entry requirements

Applicants should have a recognised secondary school completion qualification (for example A-levels, International Baccalaureate or an equivalent high school diploma). Admission decisions consider academic transcripts, preparation in mathematics and English, and any relevant extracurricular or work experience.

Transfer applicants are welcome and are assessed on prior college coursework; students transferring in with college credits may be exempted from some introductory courses. International applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English through an accepted language qualification or prior study in English. Mature applicants with relevant work experience may apply through alternative admission pathways.

Career prospects

Graduates leave prepared for entry-level professional roles across a wide range of sectors. Typical career paths include accounting assistant, junior financial analyst, marketing coordinator, sales representative, management trainee, human resources officer, operations or supply chain analyst, and small‑business or nonprofit administration. The degree also provides a solid foundation for professional certification (such as accounting or HR credentials) or for progression to graduate study in business or related disciplines.

Students who take advantage of internships, applied projects and industry links often move into employer‑sponsored roles in the regional business community, public agencies and service organisations.
