The J. Whitney Bunting College of Business & Technology at Georgia College & State University (GCSU) offers graduate programmes that are made for professionals seeking to balance study, work, family and personal aspirations. Affordable and accessible, these programmes cater to the unique needs and demands of working professionals. They are flexible and convenient without compromising academic excellence that befits its Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation, a distinction held by approximately 6% of business schools worldwide.
The real benefit of an online programme is that it gives students greater control over how they learn. Faculty can record and add valuable content to enhance the learning experience. “This media allows the student to participate in an optimal environment where they can interact conveniently while earning a world-class education,” says faculty member Douglas McElhaney.

The MMIS programme caters to those passionate about technology and information management. You’ll explore areas like enterprise systems, business analytics research, and emerging trends in MIS.

As a graduate, you’re set to seize various career opportunities in data analytics, cybersecurity and IT management.
There’s another perk for MMIS students: Graduate Certificates. You can choose from specialised tracks in IS Data Analytics, IT Auditing or Web Developer, and earn a graduate certificate in this field to add to your MMIS.
The online Master of Logistics and Supply Chain Management (MLSCM) is for those seeking promotion, a new position, improved management skills, or executive leadership roles.

Building connections for lasting success
GCSU understands that online programmes can sometimes feel isolating. Hence why the #6 top public school in the US prioritises meaningful connections between faculty and students. Unlike many online programmes, you’ll interact with your professors and peers on a first-name basis. There’s a real sense of camaraderie and belonging — creating a virtual space where anyone and everyone can ask questions, share ideas and learn from each other’s experiences.
“One way we build connection is through our in-person orientation at the beginning of each Fall cohort,” says Dr. Scott R. Cox, Assistant Professor of Logistics and the Graduate Coordinator for the MLSCM programme. “Additionally, faculty at GCSU teaching in the MLSCM programme hold virtual office hours. These are strictly voluntary for the students, but they do permit the students a connection to the faculty by allowing them to engage in real-time and ask questions.”
Within and beyond their virtual lecture halls, the faculty goes above and beyond to support students. “I give my students my personal mobile number. I am available for my students anytime,” McElhaney says.
