Automotive Management B.B.A.

Why SUNY Morrisville Automotive Management?

During the first two years of study, the B.B.A. program combines an emphasis in automotive and business management. In the junior and senior years, students will continue with business management but with a concentration on automotive management with courses in automotive shop management, automotive fleet management and automotive parts management and merchandising.

Live laboratory classes in automotive management areas such as parts, shop, fleet and merchandising are combined with courses in accounting, business administration, economics, computer science and mathematics to equip you with a vast array of expertise as you enter the automotive industry. A required internship in a business related to the automotive or transportation industry also prepares you for immediate entry into the workforce, with the potential to lead directly to your first employment opportunity.
