Completion of Management and Leadership Major

For the Management and Leadership major, students will complete all LMU and CBA core requirements, plus the required MGMT 2600 Managing Yourself, MGMT 3600 Managing Others, two upper-division MGMT electives, and the capstone course MGMT 4600 Local Global Mindset (20 or more units for the upper division major courses). The two electives may be selected from any upper- division MGMT courses or from other non-MGMT courses approved by the Department of Management in advance. As part of their career development coursework in MGMT 2600 Managing Yourself, students will develop a tentative curriculum plan covering options for the two upper-division MGMT electives and other possible electives to fulfill their graduation requirements and career interests. In subsequent semesters, if intending to fulfill one or both of the required upper-division MGMT electives outside of MGMT, a student must prepare a proposal and receive special approval from the Management Department chair and an ad hoc MGMT faculty committee before enrolling in a substitute elective. This proposal must be submitted to the Management Department chair at least one month before the intended enrollment, indicating the student’s career preparation rationale for taking the non-MGMT upper-division elective, and evidence that the course will be offered and open for the student to take (e.g., prerequisites or special permission required by another LMU department to allow the student to enroll in the non-MGMT course). Following completion of the non-MGMT upper-division elective, the student must then file a degree audit adjustment form, signed by a MGMT advisor and the Management Department chair, that will permit the course to count as fulfilling an upper-division MGMT elective.
