Department of Management
A program of study in the Department of Management leads to a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree with a major in Management. The Management major is designed to teach students to plan, organize, direct, and control business activities in both the public and private sectors. Students develop skills in decision making, leadership, motivation, and problem solving.
Within the Management major, students must select one of three options: Management, Personnel/Human Resource Management or Small Business. The option in Management prepares students for management careers in business, industry and government. Coursework prepares students for entry-level positions in areas such as distribution, manufacturing, retail, service and transportation. The option in Personnel/Human Resources Management prepares students to become Human Resource Management professionals. Coursework prepares students for entry-level positions in staffing, recruiting, training and development, wage and salary administration, and labor relations. The option in Small Business prepares students to work in small or medium-sized businesses or become small business owners. Coursework prepares students to develop an overall concept for a business and identify the problems that must be considered and resolved if the venture is to be successful. (Note: The option in Management is available both in the day and evening. The options in Personnel/ Human Resources Management and Small Business are available only during the day.)
