Management is more than planning, organizing and controlling resources; it is directing human effort in all facets of business, industry and government. Graduates in this program develop the knowledge and skills required to lead and manage global businesses ethically, with attention to customer value, returns to stockholders and employee development. Students engage in consulting projects with local organizations. These engagements hone students' critical thinking and communications skills while illustrating the consequences of management decisions.
