Bachelor of Science in
Management
The program leading to the B.S. in Management is
designed to provide students with the appropriate skills to perform
effectively in a professional business environment. Courses are
designed around the basic managerial functions of planning,
organizing, leading and controlling. Students will have the
opportunity to develop skills in the following areas: quantitative
research, oral and written communication, critical thinking, team
dynamics, and business technology. Global relationships and ethical
decision making are integrated throughout the core curriculum.
Declaration of Major
Declaring a major in Management requires the student
to complete a Declaration of Major form that must be signed by the
department chair. Before declaring a major, students must complete
MGMT ACCT 215 and ACCT 216 with a grade of C or better, and
must satisfy the LANG 120 requirement. The following
restrictions must be met before the department chair can sign to
admit the student to the program:
-
Students are encouraged to declare their majors as
soon as they are eligible. Enrollment in the program is capped
and students are admitted to the program on a space-available basis.
-
Students must formally declare a Management major by
the time they have completed 75 semester hours, based on special
circumstances, students may petition the department chair to declare
the major. Petitions submitted after completion of 90 semester
hours must be approved by the department chair and the Provost or
his/her designee.
-
Students can not enroll in any 400-level MGMT course
without a declared major or minor in the Department.
Exceptions require the approval of the department chair.
