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.
