Business Management
Preparing Students for Leadership
The Business Management major prepares students for professional leadership in private, public, and not-for-profit organizations. The major cultivates each student’s capacity to think and act with creativity and innovation. Students master the broad definition of business, while focusing on managing people—a key business function in the global economy. Students gain the knowledge and skills to manage effectively and efficiently while developing a sense of ethical responsibility in professional practice inside and outside of organizations.
Students explore entrepreneurship and small business management with a particular focus on innovative and creative decision making. They examine why and how organizations change over time and how individuals manage change. Social entrepreneurship, in particular, prepares students to develop innovative organizations that improve people’s lives and make a contribution to greater economic development.
