Management (B.S.)
ABOUT
A major in management provides flexibility to tailor your education and classes to your specific business interests. Whether your goal is to start your own business or manage information systems, this program will teach you how. Choose from one of eight different emphasis areas - business analytics, entrepreneurship, general management, human resources management, international management, management information systems, operations management or supply chain management.
