Management is concerned with the effective and efficient utilization of resources to achieve organizational goals. If resources were unlimited, there would be no need to manage them. The Management program explores the fundamental concepts of management drawn from behavioral sciences to help students understand the nature of the rapidly changing workplace, the underlying forces contributing to this change, and leverage such understanding to enhance organizational performance.
Students pursuing the BSBA have the option of a concentration in general Management or Supply Chain Management.
Students in the Management concentration will take required courses that will prepare them for careers in organizational development, operations management, and corporate leadership. Students pursuing the Management Supply Chain Management concentration will take courses that will prepare them for careers in logistics, supply chain, and procurement.
Internships
All business majors are strongly encouraged to complete at least one internship. Internships are career-related work experiences that enable students to apply their knowledge and skills in an organizational setting. In the WCBA, internships that are approved for academic credit must be paid. Completing a career-related internship increases a student's job opportunities upon graduation.
