Georgia Southwestern State University will begin offering a bachelor of business administration in management degree at Gordon College beginning with the spring 2009 semester.

This two-plus-two program will allow students with an associate’s degree in business to earn junior- and senior-level credits toward a BBA in management from GSSU at Gordon.

The degree will be offered through both classroom and online courses.

“This is an excellent opportunity for students in the area to earn a bachelor’s degree in business management,” said Ric Calhoun, Gordon College professor of business. “The mix of both in-classroom and online classes, plus the fact that Gordon is easily accessible to residents in the south metro area, make the program very convenient.”

Calhoun is serving as the adviser for students interested in the program. He can be reached by e-mail at ricc@gdn.edu or by telephone at 678-359-5033.

The course schedule for spring semester has been determined and interested students can enroll in the classes once they have been accepted at GSSU. The deadline to apply is Dec. 15. Spring semester classes begin at Gordon College on Jan. 12.

Additional information on the joint program is available on the Gordon College Web site at www.gdn.edu/programs/joint programs.

In fall 2009, Georgia Southwestern, which is in Americus, will begin offering its master of education degree on the Gordon campus as well.

This degree will be available to students with the proper prerequisites under the University System of Georgia’s education curriculum.
