Graduates holding the Bachelor of Science degree in Management may find employment opportunities in both the public and private sectors. Opportunities are expected to be especially plentiful in the services sector (e.g., retailing, health care, information technology, finance, and transportation), where these degrees will be especially valuable.

The Department of Management offers three separate programs: Management, Human Resources Management, and International Business.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Management offers three areas in which students can choose to concentrate: General Management, Operations Management, and Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management.

General Management. While both management theory and application are taught, the track in General Management is distinguished by its greater flexibility that can be useful to the student who wishes to design a customized management.

Operations Management. Students in the Operations Management track are well grounded in both theory and application, but their focus is more upon production, operations, quality issues, and inventory and capacity management.

Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management. Students taking the Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management track will focus on creation and operation of a small business. This track will also be for graduates who will be working in small businesses where the manager often must perform several managerial roles and manage several functions.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Human Resource Management prepares individuals in both the theoretical and applied aspects of managing the human resources function in organizations as a generalist or specialist. Students will gain expertise in areas such as job design, staffing, training, compensation, and performance appraisal.

The Bachelor of Science degree in International Business offers students an opportunity to acquire a thorough understanding of managing global operations in the contemporary business environment. In addition, students develop skills in a traditional functional area. The combination of these two objectives enables students to successfully perform in today’s competitive global economy.
