Management
The Management major is a broad-based degree program enabling students to understand how organizations operate in the contemporary global environment. Management majors acquire an understanding of the external environment of business and how it affects the internal activities of an enterprise.
Drawing on management theory as well as current business practices, students develop knowledge, skills, and competencies that will enable them to assume positions in a wide variety of industries and organizations. The Management curriculum places special emphasis on personal ethical accountability and corporate social responsibility. In addition to coursework in business disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, law, marketing, management information systems, and operations management, students complete management courses that explore how resources—whether human, information, technology, knowledge, or materials—all strategically combine to achieve the goals of an organization. The communication, teamwork, and leadership skills needed in managerial roles are emphasized across the curriculum. Students also choose a four-course concentration in one of four areas. An internship from any Welch Business College major is required.
