Recruit BBA Students

Goizueta Business School

Undergraduate Student Talent

Goizueta’s Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) prepares students to think critically, analyze data, and effectively communicate recommendations. By graduation, they know how to make data-driven decisions, and courageously act when the time is right.

The BBA Career Management Center (CMC), in partnership with the centralized Emory Career and Professional Development (CPD) team, provide several opportunities for you to productively engage with our students.

The BBA Program is now STEM Certified

The BBA program is one of the few leading undergraduate business programs with full STEM designation. Our curriculum prepares students for a data-driven world where business decisions have complex and far-reaching effects. This national designation signifies our students' competency in science, technology, engineering, and math. Additionally, the STEM designation allows our international students to apply for a 24-month extension to their student visa, on top of the 12 months provided through OPT. This gives them the possibility of up to 36 months of valuable work experience in the U.S., significantly enhancing their future career prospects.

The quickest and easiest way for you to highlight your job opportunity is to use Handshake, a portal that reaches all Emory undergraduate students and alumni. Alumni up to 3 years post-graduation can use Handshake.

Once your profile is approved, Handshake allows you to manage your undergraduate recruiting activities at Emory:

Receive a résumé bundle of students that apply to open positions
Search and message students and recent alumni who have made their profiles public
Submit a request to host a company presentation or an on-campus interview

For those new to Handshake, this page will be a great starting point to get to know Handshake, create a new employer account, or join an existing account.

If you have questions or problems with Handshake, please contact the Emory Career and Professional Development team at cpdrecruiting@emory.edu.

As Goizueta’s only undergraduate program, the BBA Employer Relations staff works closely with the Emory University Career and Professional Development team (CPD) to offer opportunities for you to engage with our students through:
•    Company Presentations
•    Coffee Chats
•    On-Campus Interviews
•    Career Expos
We encourage employers to engage with our students on-campus and in-person, but virtual opportunities are available as well. These opportunities can be requested and scheduled through Handshake with our CPD team. More information can be found here.
On-Campus Policies and Guidelines

In addition to recruiting events available to all Emory undergraduates, there are several touchpoints specific to BBA students.
1.    Tabling at Goizueta is a way to build your brand, meet students in-between classes and share information about your company. There is an opportunity to follow this up with an information session.
2.   BBA Kegs in the Courtyard is an informal, weekly event held on Thursday afternoons for BBA students to unwind and network. You are welcome to sponsor this event as a way to raise your company’s brand awareness and as a chance to get to know students in a casual setting.
3.   BBA Professional Development Class is a required course for our first semester BBA students. It is held on Fridays and covers topics ranging from building a strong BBA resume to connecting with our incredible Goizueta network. There are opportunities, though limited, for employers and alumni to guest lecture and interact with our students. Please note, this class is taught by the BBA CMC staff. Beyond this course, we are unable to provide direct access to other faculty led classes at this time.
4.   BBA Atlanta Site Visits take place on Friday afternoons at companies in the Atlanta area. Like our BBA Career Treks, these provide employers in the Atlanta area an opportunity to host a group of BBA students in their office.
5.   BBA Career Treks are visits to company offices in targeted cities for students to learn about your opportunities and experience your company culture first-hand.
6.   Goizueta Career Connection (GCC) is our signature BBA junior internship recruiting event which happens in early September. In collaboration with the MBA CMC, approximately 400 students (both MBA and BBA), alumni, and business partners gather to build relationships for future hiring needs. In past years, this event has been held at the Georgia Aquarium.

We do ask that all company information sessions be coordinated through Handshake via our centralized career center to ensure accessibility to the broader student body and prevent conflicts with sessions from similar industry employers. Once scheduled and approved on Handshake, employers are welcome to share these with relevant GBS clubs, as we do encourage clubs to promote these sessions to engage their members.
Additionally, please be aware that student organizations are student lead, and they manage their own programming. Therefore, we cannot guarantee interaction with any student clubs.
You can find more information on the mission and goals of each of these clubs here.

BBA Career Policy FAQ

Students can apply directly for jobs and internships through your company website if they also apply to the job via Handshake.

All on-campus interviews and on-campus coffee chats for undergraduate students are held within the Emory Career & Professional Development (CPD) office in the B Jones Building. Please find more information regarding on-campus recruiting through our centralized career center’s recruiting site here.

Our offices do not screen applicants for employers prior to on-campus interviews. After posting your opportunity on Handshake, refer to the APPLICANTS tab attached to each position within your on-campus schedule. This ensures you are selecting candidates that meet your organization's screening criteria.

On-campus coffee chats are a first-come, first-serve sign up process for students. Employers are able to provide criteria that students must meet to be eligible to sign up for their scheduled on-campus coffee chats, but employers are not able to select students.

An official job or internship offer should be in written form and contain the following: position title, salary, start date, and work location.
Please note that we advise employers to demonstrate flexibility and a willingness to allow students adequate time to make a sound and informed decision; students respond better to these interactions than to ones in which they feel pressured.
Specific policies regarding acceptance deadlines can be found on Emory CPD’s Policies and Guidelines page here.

If an employer is considering withdrawing an offer from an Emory student, for any reason, please contact the Emory CPD Recruiting Team immediately.
Please note, if you are required to revoke a job offer that a student has accepted because of changing conditions within the company, the student is entitled to a fair and equitable course of action including but is not limited to: financial assistance and outplacement service.

Emory University students are obligated to follow the established ethical practices when seeking employment and/or internships. Students are expected to cease seeking and considering other positions once they have accepted an offer. They are urged to immediately release offers they do not plan to accept.
Reneging on accepted offers has negative repercussions that extend beyond the student’s own reputation and could jeopardize Emory University’s relationship with employers. It is a serious violation of the Emory CPD’s policies and can result in the loss of alumni and career services privileges for the student.
However, any offer that is over 14 months from when they start should have no repercussions. In the unfortunate instance when your firm has adhered to these guidelines and a student decides to renege on an offer, please notify the Emory CPD Recruiting Team immediately.
Emory CPD’s Policies and Guidelines can be found here.

We ask that you please inform the BBA CMC team of all employment offers (internships and full-time positions) extended to students. We strive to maintain accurate statistics regarding student job offers, acceptances and salary, but can only do that if we are kept in the loop. Your company employment records are kept strictly confidential and used only for statistical purposes.
