Management Major, BSM
A major in management prepares students to make strategic decisions, manage people and bring new technologies and innovations to market.
Students gain a comprehensive foundation in business through core classes before tackling their major course of study. Students can tailor their education to their career goals by following an optional track in entrepreneurship, Human Resources & Consulting, or Strategy & Consulting. Electives on topics including human resources, ethics and negotiations allow further pursuit of personal interests.
Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Management degree must earn a minimum of 124 credit hours in their degree and a minimum grade point average of 2.000. More information on general degree requirements can be found here. Additionally, students must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours in the Newcomb-Tulane College Core Curriculum.
