Never run out of options. The Goizueta BBA program will open doors, spark ideas, and help you build your career. Here, we’ve combined the power of a liberal arts foundation with business expertise that will set you up for success wherever you go.

Our program is open to students continuing from Emory or Oxford Colleges. You are eligible to enter the BBA Program once you have earned enough credit hours to have junior standing and have completed the pre-requisites for the program. We accept applications in the semester prior to the one in which you intend to enroll.

A website has been created specifically for Emory College and Oxford College pre-BBA students to share further information with you on requirements, the application process, and programs of interest. Please access the Pre-BBA Information Site for more information. Current BBA students may also apply in the spring semester of their junior year for our BBA/MPA combined degree.

Before you can decide if you want to join us, you need to know who we are. Our program consists of approximately 800 juniors and seniors who are continuing students from Emory and Oxford Colleges. Although we have our own distinctive identity, we are very much a part of Emory and share its vision and intellectual focus.

Our curriculum is rigorous and all students are expected to come to class prepared to make meaningful contributions. Being one of us means showing you are willing to take on challenges, push yourself intellectually, and take some risks. It means doing well in freshman and sophomore classes and getting involved. If this description fits you, then the BBA program may be just what you are seeking. We invite you to take a closer look.

If you are a high school student interested in the BBA Program at Emory University, we welcome you to explore our site and learn more about Goizueta Business School. You will first need to apply directly to Emory College of Arts and Sciences through the main Office of Undergraduate Admission.

You may apply to Emory College of Arts and Sciences on the main university campus in Atlanta or to the two-year program at Oxford College, located on Emory's original campus about 40 miles outside Atlanta. If you are interested in pursuing a business degree, you will apply to the BBA Program in the semester before you achieve junior standing.

The BBA program is designed around matriculation once a student has achieved junior standing. If you are transferring as an entering sophomore, you will enroll in Emory Colleg and apply to end the BBA program with Junior standing. Transfer students applying to Emory as juniors may be considered for direct admittance to the BBA Program.

GBS accepts about 20 transfer students each year. These students start as juniors and should expect to complete four semesters of coursework at GBS.
GBS prefers students complete the majority of their business coursework here at Emory, so students with a number of business classes from another institution are not good transfer candidates.
The BBA/MPA combined degree program is designed to enable students enrolled in the BBA Program at the Goizueta Business School to complete master's level coursework, while simultaneously fulfilling the requirements to sit for the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) examination. Junior level transfer students should anticipate five or more semesters to complete this program.
The BBA/MSBA combined program is by highly selective application. This program enables students enrolled in the BBA Program at Goizueta Business School to complete a Master's in Business Analytics. Junior level transfer students would apply in the middle of junior year, and if admitted, should anticipate five semester to complete this dual degree program.
All transfer students will apply through the Emory University Office of Admission.

A Simple Process

David Ramos 20BBA

"As a first-generation student, navigating the college application process was daunting and expensive. I only visited schools nearby and learned as much as possible through college websites to figure out where I wanted to spend the next four years of my life. Fortunately, Emory has a couple of fly-in programs (CORE and Essence) to create the opportunity to visit Atlanta for prospective students. During CORE, I was able to learn about Emory's incredible professors, research, and opportunities provided for students. I also felt a commitment to diversity, which was extremely important. Three years later, I have no regrets and am grateful for the memories over the past several semesters."
