Global Business is offered as a second major program of study only. This second major combines global business courses with language training and a study abroad experience to qualify students for management positions in the diverse, multicultural, and global environment they will encounter in the future. A second major in Global Business serves as a competence and skill amplifier for business students, complimenting their primary business major (i.e., accounting, business administration, finance, management, marketing, and management information systems). Students with this second major distinguish themselves in ways that they develop functional competencies from their primary business major and are prepared to lead and perform in multicultural and global business contexts through their second major. The Global Business major enhances students ability to operate in global business environments, appreciation for different cultures, and business knowledge pertaining to international arenas.
The Management major is a four-year program with a curricular blend of general education, pre-professional course work, fundamental business knowledge (accounting, finance, management, marketing, and information systems), international exposure, and in-depth management-specific courses. Students pursuing a Management major can also choose the Human Resource Management and/or Supply Chain Management tracks to advance their field-specific skills and knowledge. The program nurtures important business skills and managerial competencies including planning, organizing, problem-solving, analytical ability, communication, teamwork, and leadership. Management students are thus prepared to lead and perform in evolving landscapes of business enterprises and non-profit organizations.
The management curriculum has been carefully designed to inspire and enable students to meet the demand of today's business and organizational landscapes. Management is an exciting and ever-developing field, and our students are supported by curriculum that fosters critical thinking, interpersonal and communication skills, leadership, analytic skills and global awareness. A success measure of our management program is the successful placement of our graduates in business, industry, and non-profit organizations, in tandem with their enhanced abilities to plan, organize, work as a team, and make sound decisions.
