Academic Programs Catalog

The management major allows students to deepen their management knowledge and skills and, if they choose, develop cross-functional expertise by taking courses from other departments within the Broad College. Students enjoy a high degree of flexibility in selecting courses to satisfy the major field of concentration requirement. The student’s program of study is designed within the context of the student's personal, academic, and career goals. Graduates of the program seek entry-level positions in business, nonprofit, and governmental organizations that require familiarity with management and the general field of business.
