The Major in Management is designed to provide students with knowledge of the basic principles and analytical tools of business and an understanding of the social, economic, and political environments in which organizations operate. This approach makes it possible for students to consider a range of career fields in the for-profit, not-for-profit, and public sectors. The major also provides a foundation for future graduate study.
Students successfully completing the program of study will have achieved the following learning outcomes:
- Demonstrate understanding of the major theoretical perspectives in management.
- Demonstrate understanding of the evolution of management thought and practice.
- Analyze the economic, political, technological, and social-cultural contexts in which an organization operates.
- Interpret qualitative and quantitative data for organizational analysis, draw appropriate conclusions, and make recommendations based on the analysis.
- Conceive and execute an original research study related to management thought and practice.
- Effectively communicate management information interactively through the development and execution of an oral presentation.
