Requirements for Minor

The Management curriculum is drawn from a liberal arts base and taught from two perspectives:

1. Knowing the essential subjects of business: accounting, economics, finance, law, and marketing
2. Understanding the skills and principles of management: behavior in organizations, communication strategies, decision-making models, leadership styles, and project planning

The Management Department integrates these two perspectives through a combination of required and recommended courses and learning experiences, designed to prepare students for management in the Twenty-first Century. Teambuilding and problem-solving are emphasized throughout the program, as is an appreciation of the value of individual differences.

The ability to work with others, and to successfully complete upper-level offerings, begins with the “first year cluster.” The program develops and builds individual skills and provides an environment that enables teamwork to flourish. The abilities of academically qualified students can be further tested in field settings and by other independent learning experiences as students progress through the curriculum.

Graduates of the program will have demonstrable competence in the two perspectives of business and management, skills in technology, the ability to cooperate and collaborate with others, an appreciation of business ethics, and a multi-national, world view.
