Management
The most flexible of the business majors, a management degree from ACU prepares a graduate to enter any organization, whether it be a Fortune 500 company, a non-profit, or a start-up business.

Marketing
A marketing degree focuses on the principles and strategies of business marketing. Students who graduate with a marketing degree have a variety of options in fields such as customer service, public relations/ marketing analysis, and sales with a wide range of organizations. Marketing majors may choose to add a concentration to their degree, selecting from one of the three management concentrations offered.
