If you are interested in a career in business but are unable to gain admission to the Terry College of Business Administration at The University of Georgia, or choose not to be enrolled in that College, there are many related majors available to you at the University. This chart lists some of those alternatives. These alternatives are suggested to you because they may allow you to utilize similar academic strengths, result in job qualifications for the general area of employment, or provide comparable areas of study, at least in a broad sense, thereby allowing you to pursue your interests. To use the chart, simply locate the business major in which you are interested and check the list of alternatives.

The UGA school/college is in parenthesis. For further information about any of the majors, first see the UGA Bulletin, which lists major requirements and course descriptions.
