Students working on cars

Put yourself in the driver’s seat.

The SUNY Morrisville Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) degree program in automotive management emphasizes a combination of automotive and business management courses to get you on the road to a career in automotive sales and merchandising, service or production.

Live laboratory classes in automotive management areas such as parts, shop, fleet and merchandising are combined with courses in accounting, business administration, economics, computer science and mathematics to provide you with a vast array of expertise as you enter the automotive industry. A required internship in a business related to the automotive or transportation industry also prepares you for immediate entry into the workforce, with the potential to lead to your first employment opportunity.

In the ever-changing automotive world, SUNY Morrisville offers leading-edge technology in all aspects of advanced diagnostics, repair and even customer service and inventory control. You’ll learn and work in our state-of-the-art facilities set up just like automotive dealerships and body shops to provide true-to-life experiences through numerous repair stations, a parts department, live service desk and a vehicle showroom.

You’ll learn from our outstanding faculty, who have worked in the industry and maintain contacts with automotive companies and support industries for all makes and models. Partnerships with industry leaders such as Fiat Chrysler, Ford and Subaru support the learning environment with new technology, vehicles and factory certifications.

You also have the opportunity to join SUNY Morrisville’s Automotive Club to extend your knowledge of the automotive industry through video tutorials, professional engineers and field trips. Open to the entire student body, the Automotive Club supports a fall and spring car show on campus each year and participates in the annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) automotive trade show.
