Southeastern Louisiana University

What you'll study

This BBA delivers a mix of foundational business courses and specialised management and operations modules. Early study covers core areas such as accounting, finance, marketing, business law and economics to build a broad business literacy. Major-specific coursework typically includes principles of management, organisational behaviour, operations management, supply chain management, project management, management information systems and quantitative methods for decision making.

Students also take applied and integrative elements such as strategic management and a capstone course that emphasises problem-solving in real organisational contexts. Practical learning opportunities commonly include internships, team-based projects, case studies and use of business simulation tools. Electives allow students to tailor the degree toward areas such as human resource management, quality management, logistics or entrepreneurship.

Entry requirements

Applicants should hold a high school diploma or equivalent. Admission decisions take into account secondary school transcripts and completion of required preparatory subjects (often including mathematics). Southeastern Louisiana University considers academic performance across the full school record; some students will also benefit from submitting standardised test scores where applicable, or evidence of college preparatory coursework.

Transfer applicants are evaluated on college transcripts and must meet the university's transfer policies. International applicants must demonstrate English proficiency through recognised tests or approved institutional pathways. Specific departmental prerequisite courses or minimum GPA expectations may apply for progression into the major.

Career prospects

Graduates of the Management and Operations programme move into a wide range of entry- and mid-level roles that emphasise management, coordination and process improvement. Typical job titles include operations manager, production supervisor, supply chain analyst, logistics coordinator, project coordinator, management trainee and small business manager.

Employers span manufacturing, distribution and logistics firms, retail and wholesale companies, healthcare providers, government agencies and service organisations. The degree also provides a foundation for further study such as an MBA or professional certifications in project management, supply chain or human resources.
