Major in Management

Degree Requirement Summary (DRS)

Degree Requirement Summary with Concentrations (Effective Fall 2013)

Special emphasis is placed on developing knowledge and skills that are increasingly useful to managers, such as conceptual, analytical, communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills. Students learn to diagnose organizational issues in a way that reflects an understanding of multiple, interacting levels of organizational analysis, including current environmental and global forces.
