The Robinson College of Business offers a special Business Learning Community (BLC) for sophomore students in the fall and spring semesters. The BLC builds on the successful model of the Freshman Learning Community, giving students an integrated business curriculum and providing them with an introduction to the many programs offered in the Robinson College of Business. (See the Freshman Learning Community heading in a later chapter of this catalog.) Enrollment in the BLC is on a first-come/first-serve basis and requires a minimum 3.00 Georgia State GPA.
Students who are not a declared major in the Robinson College may be interested in the BLC program as the basis for a business minor. For students who are undecided about their major but have an interest in business, the BLC is a good way to get exposure to some business disciplines with required courses in the B.B.A. program. One of the major benefits of the BLC program is that its structure allows students to take multiple classes with a group of classmates, providing opportunities to work and learn together. The classes in the learning community are limited to 40 students, providing opportunities for more interaction with professors.
The Business Learning Community consists of the following grouping of courses:
Fall Semester:
