New Graduate Programs
We are pleased to inform prospective students that a Master of Business in Professional Leadership (MBPL) has been approved by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. The Master of Business in Professional Leadership (MBPL) is a business and interdisciplinary studies degree designed for people who wish to advance as leaders and excel across multiple commercial, government, and non-profit enterprises by inspiring and motivating individuals and organizations. Unlike a traditional business quantitative-centric degree, which is focused on managing processes, policies, and resources, the MBPL is a business degree focused on qualitative leadership. The new master’s program is housed in the School of Business. For more information, please see here. Prospective students may also contact Dr. Bill Carty, MBPL Program Coordinator, at or at 478.471.2724, or contact Mr. Drew McIntosh, Coordinator of Graduate Admissions, at .
We are also proud to announce the launch of two new graduate certificates in fall 2023: one in Creative Writing and another in Teaching College Writing. These certificates offer opportunities for writers, creatives, and teachers who need and want expertise and/or credentialing in these areas. To learn about these new graduate-level programs in the School of Arts & Letters, please see here. Prospective students can also contact Dr. Monica Miller, the Graduate Program Coordinator, at 478.471.5799 or at .
