Management

Degree Overview

Our bachelor's 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 (for example, formal presentations and 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. Management majors must also analyze complicated business problems and 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 acquire a context for understanding the complex and dynamic processes occurring in contemporary organizations. The focus of the management major is on the knowledge base and skills that underlie effective management practice irrespective of organization or industry type.
