Undergrad Programs - Management

When you select a major in management, you will be on the

road to understanding business and human behavior, and developing strategies to succeed in any venture you choose. You'll learn how people behave at work and how to motivate them to perform at their highest potential. Managers need to be familiar with the basic human resource systems such as selection, appraisal, compensation and training. They must also predict human behavior under a variety of circumstances. Successful organizations will have managers who excel in these skills and who can prepare, organize and execute successful business strategies. The management major will give you the skills you need to do just that.

With a management major, you'll find an endless array of career options. Some of our students have pursued such exciting careers as:

Director of corporate benefits
Hospital director
Design supervisor
Company president
Manufacturing supervisor
Hotel and store managers
Traffic manager
Service manager

Core Classes for Management Major

All College of Business majors are required to meet general education requirements through the University Studies requirements, as well as preparatory classes in economics, English, communication, mathematics, statistics, and computer science that are required for Advanced Business Standing. Look here for a complete curriculum guide for Management majors, or contact the College of Business Academic Advising Office.

After completing the introductory course, Management and Organization (MGT 3210), our majors will take a set of courses designed to give them exposure to all of the skills needed by good managers.

Our core management courses will give you a common body of managerial knowledge. You will take each of the core classes, including Human Resources Management (MGT 4410), Organizational Behavior (MGT 4420), and Organization Design and Change (MGT 4430).
Next, your coursework will allow for you to extend your understanding of various areas of management. Here, you must take at least 2 courses from Managerial Problem Solving (MGT 4440), Selection, Training, and Development (MGT 4450), Performance Appraisal and Compensation Systems (MGT 4460), Managerial Negotiation and Conflict Resolution (MGT 4470), and Selected Topics in Management (MGT 4910). You may choose to take 3 classes in these areas, rather than just 2.
Finally you will take at least 1 class that will complement your interests in business overall. The courses you can take include Intermediate Macroeconomics (ECON 3010); Intermediate Microeconomics (ECON 3020); Long Term Capital Management (FIN 4320); Computer Applications in Decision Science (DSCI 4240); Marketing Management (MKT 4430). You can choose to take 2 classes in this section rather than just 1.

Elective courses available to our students:

Your elective courses will be chosen from both the College of Business and other parts of the University. These courses will help broaden your perspectives and extend your understanding in your areas of interest. We will be happy to help you build your skills in an area inside or outside the college that complements your marketing interests. This complementary course of study will enable you to develop a secondary area of expertise and distinguish yourself when it is time for you to graduate and enter the workforce.

Some areas of complementary specialization we suggest are psychology, finance, communications, foreign languages, or accounting.
