Management is the force responsible for directing organizations toward goals or objectives. Therefore, the management curriculum focuses on the nature and capabilities of human and other resources, as well as how the manager plans, organizes, staffs, coordinates, and evaluates those resources in an organization and its environment. The study of management prepares men and women for positions of leadership in profit and nonprofit organizations of all sizes. Management majors gain insight and skill needed for careers as professional managers or as self-employed entrepreneurs. These skills include: technical knowledge, communicative capacity, human understanding, and conceptual and problem-solving ability. Two majors are offered in the Management Department. They include Management and General Business. Both majors are described below.

Management Major

Students majoring in Management may choose one of three options. These options include: administrative management, human resource management, and small business and entrepreneurship. Six hours of courses in managerial problem solving and team management are required of all management majors. An additional twelve hours of course work is required in each management option.

The Administrative Management option offers students a concentration of study that will provide them with a broad management background. Students will acquire knowledge that will prepare them for positions in general management.

The Human Resource Management option is designed to prepare students for careers in human resource-related occupations including personnel management. Among issues and areas addressed are: management-employee relations, quality of work life, compensation and other reward systems, organizational staffing, and training and development. The human resource management track emphasizes the importance of integrating individual goals and organizational objectives.

The Small Business and Entrepreneurship option is suggested for students who are interested in starting and/or operating a small business or independent company after graduation. This program offers students an opportunity to learn about and work directly with small business firms. The small business and entrepreneurship option provides excellent preparation for students wishing to obtain a highly integrated view of business operations.
