Management Department and Entrepreneurship Program

Objectives

In studying management, the student will focus on the practical skills, ethical issues, and management theory necessary to succeed in our diverse global economy. The Department offers, essentially, two types of courses: general knowledge courses and specialized courses. General knowledge courses are required of all business majors. Elective courses are chosen by majors who wish to gain specialized instruction in specific areas of management.

All Management Major students will demonstrate acceptable understanding and skills in:

Interpersonal/team effectiveness
