Management

A Concentration and Minor

A career in management is defined by expert leadership and the ability to adapt business practices to changes in technology, globalization, marketplace needs, and cultural, gender, and racial diversity. 

The Management concentration within the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration includes six courses of in-depth study in the field of management, to complement the business and liberal arts core.

The Management minor requires four courses which offer an understanding of complex managerial issues that corporations face today.
