Bachelor of Science–Human Resources Management

Minor–Management

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 valuable.

The department offers three separate degree programs: Management, Human Resources Management, and International Business.

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

General Management Track. While both management theory and application are taught in all of the department’s majors, the track is distinguished by its emphasis upon the achievement of organized goals through the efforts of organization members.
Operations Management Track. Students in this track are well grounded in both theory and application, focusing on production, operations, quality issues, and inventory and capacity management.
Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management Track. Students taking this track will focus on creation and operation of a small business. This track is also 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 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 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 (finance, human resources, marketing). The combination of these two objectives enables students to successfully perform in today’s competitive global economy.
