Bachelor
of Science–Management |
Graduates holding the Bachelor of Science degree with a major 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 with a major 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 degree with a major 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 with a major 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.

A foreign student, registered as such at IUP, whose acquired native language is other than English and who demonstrates an acceptable proficiency in English, can meet the foreign language requirement by successful completion of an exemption examination in the acquired native language. (2) Candidates must document one semester of foreign residence (minimum of three months). Normally, the foreign residency requirement will be met in conjunction with a work experience, internship, or student exchange. A substitute cross-cultural experience may be permitted with the academic advisor’s recommendation. The foreign language requirement is a prerequisite to the foreign residency requirement. |

Minor in Entrepreneurship (for Fine Arts Students)
The minor in Entrepreneurship for nonbusiness majors program assumes no prior knowledge of business. Fine arts students are usually involved in starting and running their own business, developing and starting small performing groups, and developing and running nonprofit community theaters. Students would develop the skills necessary to evaluate opportunities within their industry. They would learn, among other things, to 1) analyze their competition, 2) develop marketing and financial plans, 3) explain intellectual property rights, 4) negotiate contracts, and 5) write a business plan that could be used to obtain financing from banks, investors, or other sources of funding. These skills are all central to the creation and development of new ventures. This is a joint effort of four departments and represents an 18-credit minor for fine arts majors. The program is designed to give nonbusiness majors a general background in starting and running a small business.
