Student Life

The World Is Our Classroom

Learn. Develop. Act. It’s the BBA Way

Our mission is to help each of our BBA students grow intellectually, personally, and professionally. To that end, we push you out into the world. You’ll be in class with students from around the globe. Travel to far-off parts to experience business as it is, or to imagine how it could be. Tap into all that Atlanta’s dynamic business community has to offer and connect to the countless business professionals who visit Goizueta to share their insights. All the while, you’ll be part of our community of vibrant students, supportive professors, and unbelievably committed alumni, all of whom will enhance your perspectives and augment your experiences.

Making an Impact at Emory

The Goizueta BBA helps students grow intellectually, personally, and professionally so that they feel enabled, empowered, and motivated to make significant positive contributions to the organizations they serve and to society as a whole. Student initiatives provide opportunities for hands-on learning experiences outside of the classroom as well as career exploration and leadership development.
Leadership Opportunities

You will also have the opportunity to gain leadership experience in organizations and clubs across the university. We are proud to note that Goizueta hosts the largest student-run business leadership conference in the country, which brings over 100 student leaders and some of the world's most respected global business thinkers to campus for workshops, lectures, networking, and case competitions. Goizueta believes that individual development and personal growth is most effectively achieved over time, experientially, and through multiple venues. Leadership is important at all levels of an organization, requiring a varied repertoire of styles and competencies. Our goal is to enhance not only your cognitive capabilities, but also your social, behavioral, and emotional skills. These four interconnected dimensions are embedded in the positive values and principles that support and inform the entire Goizueta community.
