Program Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Management at Albany State University is an AACSB-accredited business degree that teaches you to think analytically, lead teams, and make data-driven decisions — skills that translate across every industry. Whether you want to manage a hospital department, run a manufacturing floor, launch a startup, or climb the corporate ladder, this degree provides the business fundamentals and management training to get you there.
Delivered entirely online through ASU Global, the program is built for flexibility. Many students are working adults — military spouses, healthcare workers, retail managers, office administrators — who need a degree that works around their schedule. Rolling admissions, generous transfer credit policies, and asynchronous coursework mean you can start when you're ready and progress at your own pace.
The AACSB accreditation matters. Fewer than 6% of business schools worldwide hold this credential. When you put an AACSB-accredited management degree on your resume, employers and graduate schools know your education met rigorous, internationally recognized standards. This is especially important if you plan to pursue an MBA later — AACSB programs accept transfer credits from other AACSB institutions far more readily.
A specialization in Healthcare Management is available for students interested in one of the fastest-growing career sectors in Southwest Georgia. With Phoebe Putney Health System as the region's largest employer, demand for healthcare administrators with business training consistently outpaces supply.
Why This Program Stands Out
Who This Program Is For
This program serves three primary audiences. First, working adults who need a bachelor's degree to advance in their current field — your experience matters, and this degree formalizes it with a recognized credential. Second, community college transfer students with an associate's degree looking for an affordable, accredited path to a bachelor's. Third, traditional students who want a business degree that emphasizes practical management skills over abstract theory. If you plan to manage people, budgets, or operations in any industry, this is the right foundation.
