Choosing a Business and Management Program From Auburn
The subject matter does not change by location: accounting and finance, operations and supply chain, business law and contracts, project management, and people management. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from AACSB, ACBSP or IACBE, the recognized programmatic accreditors for business programs, how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
