Management skills are necessary in every organization. Study of the four major management
functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling prepares students
to succeed in a variety of personal and professional pursuits–businesses, government,
and non-profit organizations. Management students examine management decision
making at various levels of the organization, from high-level strategic decisions to dayto-
day operations and human resource issues.
The management curriculum comprises the study of both management theory and
application. Students gain knowledge of the broad concepts concerning how individuals
and organizations function, and some of the decision-making tools that managers
use in business settings. Team-building, effective communications, and how to deal
with cross-cultural challenges are topics which bridge several courses. Students who
are approaching the completion of their course work may choose to further their knowledge
through internships in which they participate in the actual operation of a commercial
organization.
To receive a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Management, the student
must successfully complete the business core and the major requirements listed
below. The student must complete all work applied to the major with a minimum cumulative
grade point average of 2.25. Any business course outside of the business core
