What you'll study

The BBA in Management and Operations combines core business studies with specialist courses that develop operational decision‑making and leadership skills. Students follow a curriculum of foundational business subjects—accounting, finance, marketing, business law and economics—together with focused study in operations management, supply chain and logistics, quality management, project management and business analytics.

• Core business modules: financial and managerial accounting, corporate finance fundamentals, marketing principles, organisational behaviour, business ethics and business law.
• Operations and management modules: operations management, supply chain management, logistics, production planning, quality and process improvement (e.g. Six Sigma principles), and project management.
• Data and analytics: business statistics, data analysis for managers, decision modelling and use of analytics tools to support operational decisions.
• Strategic and integrative work: strategic management, operations strategy, and a capstone or integrative project that typically requires students to solve a real organisational problem.
• Professional development and experience: internship options, applied projects with industry partners, presentations and courses emphasising communication, leadership and team-based problem solving.

Students may also take elective courses in entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business and information systems to tailor their degree. Classes emphasise applied learning, case studies and technology used in modern operations and supply chains.

Entry requirements

Applicants are expected to hold a secondary school qualification comparable to a U.S. high school diploma. Admissions typically consider academic records, a personal statement and other supporting material such as a résumé or references. Standardised test scores (SAT or ACT) may be considered where submitted, but admissions decisions look at the whole application.

• For international applicants: proof of English proficiency is required if the applicant’s prior education was not in English; accepted evidence may include recognised tests or equivalent documentation of English‑language instruction.
• Transfer applicants: previous college or university coursework is evaluated for transfer credit; applicants should submit official transcripts and a list of completed courses.
• Additional requirements: some applicants may be invited to an interview or asked to provide a brief personal statement outlining their interest in management and operations.

Career prospects

Graduates with a BBA in Management and Operations move into operational, managerial and analytical roles across sectors including manufacturing, retail, healthcare, logistics, consulting and public service. Typical job titles include operations analyst, supply chain coordinator, logistics manager, project manager, production supervisor and business analyst.

The degree also supports entry into graduate business programmes and professional certifications in project management, supply chain (e.g. APICS/CPIM-related pathways) and quality management, which can accelerate career progression into senior operations and executive roles.
