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. In addition to coursework in business disciplines such as accounting and finance, students complete management courses that explore how resources 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 five areas: sales, global business management, supply chain management, entrepreneurship and human resource management. An internship from any Welch Business College major is required.
