MANAGEMENT CONCENTRATION (MGT) Five courses (15 credits)

Overview The management concentration allows students to explore and develop critical managerial and entrepreneurial skills, including leadership, team, and interpersonal skills such as decision-making, conflict management, communication, and venture-creation skills. Employers want managers with good people skills not just technical skills. Students can focus their concentration toward one of three tracks: (1) human resource management, (2) entrepreneurship/small business, or (3) managerial effectiveness.
   
Career Paths Students who complete their baccalaureate degree with a concentration in management are positioned well (a) for entry-level management positions in domestic and international companies and organizations including financial, biotech and high tech, non-profit, computer and telecommunications, education, healthcare, insurance, distribution and manufacturing or (b) for joining an entrepreneurial/small business venture. Recent graduates of the program have found employment as account executives, human resource personnel, consultants, operations personnel, retail managers, property managers, and more.
   
Advising Notes The management concentration enables students to create a focused track (e.g., HRM or Entrepreneurship/Small Business) not only from the available academic courses but also by incorporating an internship and/or an independent study that can be directly related to one’s focus.
