Business Management, General Concentration, B.S.

All of society's enterprises - business, governmental, educational, and military - are becoming increasingly sophisticated and complex. There is an unrivaled and growing need for skilled managers. Contemporary managers must attend to global competition, understand complex logistical matters, maintain service quality, and continuously improve as they monitor and respond to a rapidly changing business environment. In response to these needs, the management program seeks to provide students with the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to obtain and advance in professional managerial positions in both domestic and international corporations.

The Department of Management offers both a B.S. in Business Management and a B.S. in International Business - Management. The department also offers a diverse set of concentrations and minors.  Students may choose to complete the B.S. in Business Management without any concentration or they may add a concentration in either Human Resources Management, Sport Management, or Esports Management.  Students interested in the B.S. in International Business - Management should examine that part of the catalog for details.
