Advisement for the major is available from the Management and Marketing Department.
The management major prepares students with a blend of theory and applied skills for entry-level management or administrative positions. Through the selection of Electives in the major, students can focus on small business management and entrepreneurship or human resource management. Students majoring in management complete a management internship to gain experience in the actual practice of management.
Management courses include such topics as the management of human resources, finances, raw materials and information. Management students learn to set goals, formulate strategies, motivate people and monitor performance.
The undergraduate management curriculum consists of a lower-division (pre-professional) core, upper-division (professional) core, special requirements and management major requirements. The pre-professional curricular requirements enable majors to acquire a common body of knowledge essential to successful completion of the professional program coursework.
Students who decide to pursue a second major must complete a minimum of 12 hours of new credits in the second major.
