The Management major prepares the student for managerial positions in virtually
any business, both technical and non-technical. It is particularly appropriate
for students who are unsure about pursuing specializations in Marketing, Accounting
or Computer Information Systems. 
Because
the Management major is broad in scope, it opens opportunities to many occupations
in marketing and financial areas, while being most appropriate for students
seeking administrative positions in both large and small enterprises in non-profit
as well as profit sectors. The Management major provides that knowledge necessary
to succeed in supervisory positions in retailing, a variety of small businesses
and governmental agencies.
