Management Concentration: 5 courses
The management concentration is designed to prepare students for entry-level management positions. Four tracks are available depending upon the student’s interests. The human resource track is for those students who are interested in issues related to the organization/employee relationship such as personnel, labor relations, wage and salary administration, and training and development. The small business track is for those interested in managing in the smaller firm. The international track is for those interested in working in the international area and includes the requirement of proficiency in a foreign language. The general track is for those students interested in management in general rather than a particular focus.

All students in the management concentration must take BUS 350. Each track has two specific courses required. The remaining two courses shall be selected from a common set of courses with those on the international track also able to choose among BUS 368 and BUS 473 and those in the small business track able to select BUS 367 if they desire.
