Bachelor of Science in Management

The Bachelor of Science in Management prepares students for meaningful entry level positions in management, and a foundation for future career growth. The program is designed to provide a strong foundation in both traditional and innovative management techniques, blending theory and practice by requiring classroom instruction, internships, and interaction with management practitioners. Students enrolled in the management program are expected to:

  1. Learn important management concepts, skills and techniques focused on managing and supervising other workers
  2. Think critically
  3. Analyze and solve organizational problems
  4. Improve their oral and written communication skills, and
  5. Build their team skills

The program emphasizes the management of the new, diverse workforce; a concern for the increasing level of legal, and ethical and social responsibilities for workplace organizations; the importance of information technology in business decision making; understanding and being able to utilize essential quantitative tools for managerial decision-making in order to maintain a competitive advantage; and the globalization of the business environment.
