Management Major Requirements

The work of a manager involves analyzing, planning, and coordinating the activities of a company.  The management major provides training in analyzing problems, making decisions, delegating assignments, training and supervising employees, budgeting, and coordinating.  The management major provides the skills needed to secure an entry level position, as well as the tools needed by top management to lead an organization.

The management area encompasses entrepreneurship, human resources management, e-commerce technology, strategy, and international business.  Management majors can pursue a general management track, entrepreneurship track, or e-commerce technology specialization track.  The General Management Track provides students with broad exposure to several management subfields.  The Entrepreneurship Management Track provides students with preparation for a career as an entrepreneur or a corporate "intrapreneur".
