Construction Progresses on University Center

Ground was broken for the new University Center | GA 400 in January and the facility, a joint project of North Georgia College & State University and Gainesville State College, is scheduled to open this fall.

This photo shows progress on the facility. If you'd like to see it for yourself, the facility is located off GA 400 at Pilgrim Mill Road, just across from the City of Cumming Aquatics Center. More information and artist's renderings of the exterior of the facility are available at UniversityCenterGA400.org.

Be an MVP. Earn your MBA at North Georgia

You don’t work in a vacuum. You work with other human beings, and that’s bound to present challenges every now and then.

How you handle those challenges - as a leader and a follower - will determine the success or failure of your team.

You don’t like to fail?

Then you need to understand all the complexities of being part of a team and learn the skills necessary to help your team perform at its best.

When you join North Georgia’s MBA program, you’ll move through coursework with a cohort. You’ll take classes with the same students each semester and work continually in teams, so you’ll be able to experience team dynamics first-hand.

North Georgia’s MBA curriculum also includes hands-on opportunities for you to practice teamwork. Solve complex physical problems on the ropes course while taking responsibility for your teammates and learning to trust them to be responsible for you.

Guest lectures offer opportunities to learn from real leaders what it takes to reform an underperforming team, start a new team to solve a new problem, or keep inspiring a high-performing team. Mentoring sessions from experienced leaders will help your team identify areas for improvement and ways to maximize strengths for best results.

Be your team’s MVP.

Take the GMAT on Campus at North Georgia

The MBA application deadline is coming up in the spring. If you still need to take the GMAT, you'll be pleased to know that North Georgia offers several opportunities for you to take the exam in the Testing Center on our Dahlonega campus, rather than driving to an Atlanta testing center. Information on testing dates and instructions for registering are available from the Testing Center.

Do I Have to Take the GMAT?
No, if you prefer you can take the GRE instead. Both GMAT and GRE test scores are acceptable for application to North Georgia’s MBA program.
