Bachelor of Arts in Management (B.A.Mgt.) - Business Major (Tucson Location Only)
The Bachelor of Arts in Management (B.A.Mgt.) is the ideal choice for those wishing to pursue a career in business or management. The program offers a strong liberal arts foundation, along with in-depth exposure to both the principles and practices of management and the various functional areas of business enterprises. The B.A.Mgt at the Tucson location is delivered in a unique hybrid program, combining online learning, in-person instruction, and experiential learning. Students spend their first two years enrolled at both Catholic University and Pima Community College; an articulation agreement between both institutions ensures that students receive degree credit for all coursework at both institutions. After earning an associate’s degree at Pima, they complete their bachelor’s degree with Catholic University in years three and four.
