Objectives

Management is a critical function for every organization, and people trained in management play this important role in organizations of every size and type. The skills, techniques, and theories acquired by the management major lead to jobs in business, government, and the non-profit sector. People who plan to establish their own firms or to become part of a family-owned firm also pursue a management major. Coursework in this major helps individuals learn to
a) motivate, lead, and develop others;
b) structure organizations capable of meeting both profit and social responsibility goals;
c) work well in accomplishing work individually and through others;
d) communicate accurately; and
e) develop a strategic perspective on organization.
