Pathway MBA

Program Overview

The Georgia Pathway MBA* is a one-year Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree option open to any current undergraduate majoring in an eligible Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM) discipline and attending an accredited public or private institution in the United States. As an additional reference, there are 45 University of Georgia majors eligible for this degree option. For Engineering students, there is a Double Dawgs option within the Pathway MBA.

This specialized program is designed for high-achieving undergraduate students who want a broad base of foundational business courses and the business skills needed for professional advancement and career success.
