Bachelor of Science in Management
The major in management is designed to provide graduates with the fundamental personal, interpersonal, conceptual, and technical knowledge and skills they need to manage organizational operations and resources effectively. All students are expected to master a variety of business communication forms (e.g., formal presentations, written reports) and to develop basic behavioral competencies necessary for those who intend to plan, organize, lead, and control the work of others in an organization. These behavioral competencies imperatively include team-building and small-group management skills.
Management students must also analyze complicated business problems and seek to become adept at using both quantitative and qualitative decision-making techniques. Likewise, current and historically important theories of organization and human work behavior are studied so that students might acquire a context for understanding the complex and dynamic processes occurring in contemporary organizations. Required courses in the management major place an emphasis on learning that should facilitate long-term development as a management professional.
The focus of the management program is on the knowledge base and skills that underlie effective management practice irrespective of organization-or industry-type. Thus, graduates of the management program typically seek college entry-level general management or management-trainee positions in virtually any field-from banking to health care to manufacturing to sports or transportation.
