Prospective Students

Who We Look For

Do you have a passion for business and people?

Business is a combination of science and art. To succeed, you must master the required skills to manage people, data, and systems to solve increasingly complex problems. Your character and capabilities are your currency. We build leaders and managers who shape businesses and impact society.

Are you ready to deepen your expertise?

Our Full-Time MBA program offers intense concentrations to grow your business capabilities — or change them altogether for a new career. Our concentrations — including business analytics, finance, and entrepreneurship — suit today’s competitive marketplace.

Do you want international experience?

When it comes to business, the world is indeed small. International business is no longer a specialty; it’s a reality for every aspect of commerce. Our program will prepare you for global business with an international residency.

Did you answer yes, yes, and yes? If so, you might be the right fit for Georgia.

Diversity and Inclusion

We aim to foster a welcoming, inclusive learning environment where everyone belongs. We believe opportunities to grow professionally are enhanced when the learning environment includes a variety of perspectives.

That’s why the Full-Time MBA program seeks to enroll students with vast backgrounds and personal experiences. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion rests on these four pillars:

  1. Promote Respect
    Our programs are dedicated to academic excellence and will prioritize the respect and inclusivity of all students in and outside the classroom.
  2. Support Diversity
    Our programs will identify and inform students of programming, student organizations, professional societies, external job fairs, etc., targeted for underrepresented students.
  3. Global Leadership
    We will prepare students to lead globally in diverse businesses and communities and be inclusive and respectful leaders.
  4. Serve Community
    Our programs will provide students with opportunities to serve Athens-Clarke County through volunteering, project-based work, and nonprofit involvement.

Diverse Partnerships

We partner with others in the Terry College of Business and across campus to provide resources and develop programming to support our commitments to our students.

Women at Terry

We understand the challenges you face as women in management and are committed to your success. The Georgia MBA community provides a supportive and structured network for your personal and professional development.

We want your UGA experience to be unique, and our goal is to create the learning environment each student needs to thrive and excel at UGA and as a future business leader, irrespective of professional background. More than 30% of the entering classes in the last five years have been women.

Women’s Mentoring and Networking

Through your engagement with the Terry Graduate Women’s Business Association (GWBA), the annual Terry Professional Women’s Conference, and other mentoring and networking activities, including those with the Terry Women’s Initiative, you will develop lifelong connections to the UGA women’s community. Each year, MBA students are selected to participate in the Sea Island Scholars Cohort, an experiential learning opportunity with notable Terry alumnae and supporters. The MBA program’s GWBA programming focuses on promoting your confidence as a future business leader and providing education on topics important for a successful career. The MBA Career Management Center staff focuses on connecting you with the alumni you need to know. You will have access to our exceptional and accomplished female alumni who have diverse professional, personal, and cultural backgrounds.
