About Management

Students may select a major in management as well as a more specialized major in industrial management. A management minor also is offered. Students selecting any major offered in the management area are expected to develop the verbal and quantitative skills and the knowledge of human behavior necessary for success in a management career.

The management major seeks to promote the development of potential executives for business, government and other organizations. The program permits a student to gain an understanding of management techniques, while acquiring a broadly-based general education.
