Management

The mission of the Management program is to provide an academic curriculum necessary to enable students to pursue a successful career in management or graduate school. Through exposing the business management student to a rigorously integrated sequence of upper level coursework which builds on the core body of general business studies, the program of study in the major provides students with a solid grasp and appreciation of the dynamic nature of management thought and action, together with a systematic conceptual framework for understanding both the role of a modern complex organization and for evaluating the effectiveness of managerial actions in the control of these organizations.

A foundation of principles and frameworks by which the functioning of organizations can be analyzed is established to facilitate the graduating management student’s continuing success in his or her chosen managerial career. The specific course requirements for the BBA in Management are outlined below.
