Program Details
Management professionals plan and coordinate the activities of others, as well as doing hands-on work themselves. As a general manager, you will have a broad portfolio and varied challenges. You might combine day-to-day operations with special projects, personnel decisions, customer relations, and budgeting. General management roles can also include a significant marketing component to build revenues.
Our curriculum prepares you for responsible roles close to the action. The management curriculum emphasizes key skills:
- leading project teams
- negotiating win-win solutions

Frequent oral presentations sharpen your ability to communicate ideas. Our collegiate DECA chapter builds students' analytical and presentation skills through projects and regional competitions.
