Management

Management majors participate in a variety of educational experiences that develop knowledge of people, teams, and organizations. This knowledge will enable students to be effective members and eventual leaders in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations of all sizes. Students learn what to pay attention to, how to analyze situations and then to make decisions to achieve the best results. These experiences enhance emotional intelligence, interpersonal and leadership skills.
