Industrial Distribution (Bachelor of Science Degree Offered)

The Industrial Distribution degree prepares the student for sales, sales management, and mid-management positions with wholesale distributors who purchase, warehouse, sell, distribute, and service a wide variety of industrial products. The day-to-day challenges faced by the industrial distributor requires him or her to be a professional with many capabilities. To fulfill this demand, the program of study includes study in management, industrial engineering, communications, data processing, and marketing.

This is one of the few industrial distribution programs offered in the United States and the only one offered in Georgia.
