The College of Business Learning Complex is home to the College of Business, the School of Strategic Leadership Studies, the MBA Program, the Gilliam Center for Entrepreneurship and the Center for Professional Sales. The complex includes Hartman Hall and Showker Hall.
The College of Business offers eight academic majors, six minors and two graduate programs. These majors are some of JMU’s most popular. Incoming students to JMU are not admitted to the Bachelor of Business Administration degree programs immediately. Instead, students take a B.B.A. Core of nine classes and meet the formal admissions criteria, which includes a minimum 2.7 GPA. Students will then be formally admitted to their major and allowed to enroll in the upper-level B.B.A. core, COB 300, a 12-credit-hour course which integrates finance, management, marketing and operations. This course program challenges students to produce a viable business plan. COB students receive many opportunities for hands-on learning, and graduates of the College of Business are employed around the world.
