Management is a field that focuses on the crucial processes by which the resources of an organization are systematically directed toward the achievement of its mission. Management majors gain the flexibility to apply their skills in a variety of settings. Some management graduates start their own companies, while others work in small business environments or begin their professional careers as management trainees in large organizations.

Every successful person, at some point, must manage others. Some people experience this early in their careers when they are appointed to lead a key team on a major project. Others may encounter the experience later as a successful business venture requires hiring additional people. No matter when it happens, you will likely need, use, and desire skills taught within the Department of Management.
Students enrolled in management courses hone skills and add to their knowledge base through courses in leadership, innovation, communication, and decision-making. The content taught within these classes is supplemented by learning about the latest trends in technology and understanding the global perspective necessary for success in today’s multicultural world.
