A Curriculum With Working Professionals in Mind
The Online Master of Business and Technology program is designed to accommodate the schedules and responsibilities of working professionals. Coursework is completed across two years through an online format of self-scheduled and self-paced lessons. Each cohort begins in the fall term (August) and continues for five terms.

Prerequisites
Although not required at the time of application, these prerequisites must be met before the start of the above-listed coursework:
An Undergraduate Degree From an Accredited Institution
While students benefit from having degrees in business, computer science or related areas, this is not a requirement for the program. Many students enroll with undergraduate degrees in liberal arts or other areas not related to business or computing.
Introductory Course in Java
The course should include introductory programming concepts and Java syntax. Those who have taken courses in an object-oriented computer programming language and have had the equivalent of at least one year of programming experience are exempt from this requirement. Java courses are offered locally or online, including through the UGA Center for Continuing Education.
