Management Major
Overview

Management Major (51 credits):
Management majors will focus on one of three tracks of study:

1) Entrepreneurship track: This track combines study of small business management with an in-depth analysis of ways new business ventures are created and developed. Processes and procedures necessary to transform an initial entrepreneurial idea into a viable business operation are the central focus of the major. The entrepreneurship track is recommended for students planning to work in a small business or who intend to start and operate their own small business.

2) Human Resource track: This track prepares students to enter first-line supervisory positions or management trainee programs in large corporate or governmental settings. Current trends in the management of large organizations, both technical and behavioral, are the central focus of study. The human resources track is recommended for students intending to seek careers in large, well-established organizations.

3) Sport Management track: This track prepares students to enter a variety of careers in sport, entertainment, and event management. Coursework emphasizes understanding of business practices and unique challenges associated with scheduling, promotion, and coordination of physical and human resources in the sport and event industry.
