Management, BS
The Management and Information Technology Department provides an academic environment in which students study current techniques for the management and operation of small, medium and large business organizations, international companies, government agencies, and non-profit institutions. Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of skills as well as the integration of marketing, domestic and international business, finance, project management and human resource management disciplines.
Students develop the ability to interpret data and supply quantitative, statistical, and logical solutions to business problems. Students are encouraged to find internship opportunities that complement their classroom studies. Seniors are required to pass BUS-4998 Capstone Business Policies with a B or better that measures their general business knowledge, quantitative analysis skills, and writing and reasoning abilities. The department partners with the Career Development Center to help students identify and secure career opportunities.
