Management

Management is fundamentally multidisciplinary, drawing its theoretical constructs from disciplines such as economics, mathematics, sociology, political science, and psychology.

The discipline of management focuses on the holistic processes by which organizational leaders allocate and coordinate company resources with the purpose of achieving the firm's stated goals. Dedicated to creating value for the firm, management covers a broad spectrum of study including, but not limited to, finance, marketing, human resources, information technology, business models, competitive strategy, and social responsibility.

The B.A. in management provides graduates with a general understanding of business principles supported by a strong background in the liberal arts. The business principles will introduce essential business theories to students and provide them with the tools necessary to manage responsibly in a complex society. The comprehensive liberal arts foundation teaches students to think critically, be problem solvers, become effective team members and communicate well.

This integrated management degree will prepare students to graduate ready to participate in the constantly changing world of business. Graduates will be strong management generalists prepared for a wide range of careers in business or nonprofit organizations.
