In what type of vocation are you interested: bank manager, purchasing manager, human resource manager, recruiter, training specialist, compensation manager, small business owner or manager, health services manager, operations manager, planner, or consultant? As a management or industrial relations major you will gain exposure to the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully enter your chosen career path. Two majors (management and industrial relations) and two tracks (general management, small business management) within the management major provide our students with the flexibility necessary to specialize in diverse areas of interest. A business administration minor and leadership minor are also available.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, MINOR – 21 credits
The business administration minor is intended to provide another academic option for non-business majors. Selection of this minor will broaden the academic pursuits of non-business majors, provide a credential that will make them more attractive to employers in the business sector, and serve as background for those intending to pursue the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree.
Required: ACTG 251 and 252, ECON 211 and 212, FIN 370, MGMT 320 and MKTG 360.
It is recognized that a number of non-business curricula contain required business courses (e.g., information systems). For those students whose major requires specific upper-division business courses, a maximum of nine upper-division business course credits must be completed beyond those required for their non-business major program.
LEADERSHIP MINOR, ENTREPRENEURIAL LEADERSHIP TRACK – 21 credits
The minor in Leadership-Entrepreneurial Leadership Track is an extension of a university initiative to develop a broad based and interdisciplinary approach to leadership. The intent is to attract potential students as well as create an environment that emphasizes the overall development of entrepreneurial leadership skills and leadership potential in our students across disciplinary boundaries. As a result of working toward this minor, the student will gain exposure to a body of knowledge that emphasizes entrepreneurial concepts and entrepreneurial leadership development. As an extension to this minor track, the program will develop and promote experiential learning, cocurricular and community service learning activities. Students will be able to develop/enhance specific entrepreneurial leadership skills that can be extended to their academic major.
