Program Description
The major in management prepares students for careers in management. This program is designed to develop and maintain progressive and innovative curricula, which prepare students to assume careers in business, industry, government, non-profit organizations, and entrepreneurial ventures. This purpose will be served by faculty committed to effective teaching, to expanding intellectual knowledge in their fields and to provide community service. In this major, emphasis is placed on providing a broad scope of various academic disciplines so that students can develop an understanding and appreciation of the business world and its relationship to a global economy and society.
An optional Concentration in Human Resource Management that prepares students for a career in this specific field is available and is described in a following section. The curricula provide a sound background for those who are preparing for graduate study in business and related areas.
