Management Concentration

Managers are entrusted with the responsibility for achieving organizational objectives through the coordination of technology, materials, money, and, most importantly, people. A concentration in management will prepare students for a successful career in management by understanding the complexities of organizational life, decision making, problem-solving, ethical considerations and culural values.

Career Possibilities.

There are a variety of career paths that students with a management concentration can embark upon. Many students work their way from entry-level managerial positions, progress through middle management, and eventually pursue an upper management career. 

Some of our recent graduates have advanced from first-level supervisors to middle management and store manager positions at major retailers, and others have risen to branch managers in the banking industry. Others have transitioned successfully out of management trainee programs to highly responsible human resources positions in the wine industry.

Our graduates have also prospered in careers in high-technology, staffing, training, and tasting room management as well as public sector and entrepreneurial pursuits. 

Three reasons to choose a career in management.

  1. Strengthen your leadership skills and build strong relationships with employees.
  2. Gain a sense of personal accomplishment through goal achievement and improvements.
  3. Create a strong and reputable name for yourself based on company success.
