The Major and Specializations

The management major prepares the student for entrylevel positions in operations management or personnel administration; for the broader managerial responsibilities that usually come with promotion and continue to expand throughout one’s career; or to start and manage an entrepreneurial venture. Courses are designed to develop the necessary skills, insight, and knowledge for dealing with the human and organizational aspect of management and also to develop the analytical, creative, and quantitative skills required for allocating and utilizing resources and for making managerial decisions.

The Department of Management (MGT) offers courses in the concepts and techniques for managing all kinds of organizations.
