Management is concerned with effective and efficient utilization of resources. The BSBA in Management 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 with a major in Management will take required courses that will prepare them for careers in organizational development, operations management, and corporate leadership.
Internships
All business majors are strongly encouraged to complete internships. 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.
Student Experiences
BSBA in Management majors at Youngstown State University have the opportunity to build their leadership skills through various WCBA student organizations.
