Management Major, BS in Business Administration - Collateral Option - Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises Track
|
|
Management is a broad field that focuses on the planning, organizing, leading, and controlling of an organization’s resources where the ultimate objective is to ensure that the organization achieves and sustains a competitive advantage. The Management Major can be earned through three different tracks of study with distinct career outcomes. The Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness (LOE) track prepares students to create value within existing organizations by managing business opportunities that foster new revenue growth. Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness career outcomes include corporate management trainee programs, project-based work, consulting, and general management. The Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises (EEE) track gives students the content and skills for creating and managing new, early-stage, and high-growth organizations. This track prepares students for opportunities in start-ups and growth businesses, and family-owned firms – including for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. A common thread throughout the Management Major is the development of important professional skills including: data-driven decision making, problem-solving, critical thinking, leadership, and communication. All students in each track are required to complete an internship.
