Graduates holding the Bachelor of Science degree in Management or Human Resource Management may find employment opportunities in both the public and private sectors. At the beginning of the new century, opportunities are expected to be especially plentiful in the services sector (e.g., retailing, health care, food services, finance, and transportation).
The Bachelor of Science in Management program offers three concentrations: Industrial Management, General Management, and Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management. Students in the Industrial Management concentration are well grounded in both management theory and application, but their focus is more upon production/operations/industrial management. The concentration in General Management is distinguished by its low level of structure or specificity. The greater flexibility of this major can be useful to the student who wishes to design a customized management specialization (e.g., fine arts management). Students taking the Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management concentration will focus on creation and operation of a small business. This concentration might also be desirable for graduates who will be working in small businesses where the manager often must wear several hats.
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.
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. The combination of these two objectives enable students to successfully perform in today's competitive global economy.
