Program Overview

The undergraduate program in the School of Management is designed to prepare students for eventual managerial roles in the private and the nonprofit sectors. The curriculum emphasizes a broad exposure to mathematics and the social sciences and a general education in management studies. The program of study in management gives particular attention to understanding the role of the business firm in society; the management functions of planning and control; the behavior of organizations; the tools of modern management, including accounting, economics, and statistics; and the ways in which managers perform such functions as production, marketing, finance, and industrial relations.

The school's program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International). A registered accounting track is available during the day. There are also undergraduate concentrations in such areas as financial analysis, human resources management, internal auditing, international business, management information systems, and marketing.

The AACSB International standards mandate that an undergraduate curriculum should have a general education component that makes up at least 50 percent of the student's four-year program. Up to 9 credit hours of economics and up to 6 credit hours of statistics may be counted toward AACSB's 50 percent rule.
