Computer programs and facilities enable students to develop decision skills that are used in managing an organization. A management major from the U of L College of Business and Public Administration graduates with the specific skills and abilities necessary to be immediately productive in managing groups of employees. Because our graduates can document those capabilities through a portfolio of evidence, they are highly sought for positions in a variety of organizations. Quality, innovative teaching is one of the highest priorities of the department and school. Management is the use of behavioral science concepts, strategic management processes and entrepreneurial thinking, to make decisions for future actions of a profit or nonprofit business.
Managers make such decisions in order to reach the goals of any organization.
Operations manager, human resource manager, line supervisor, small business manager, corporate administrator, and international business are only a few of the careers which may be available to you with a bachelor's degree in management. In the business world, management is defined as the art of getting things done through people. Some examples of organizations which need expert managers include health care facilities, government agencies, service organizations, schools, colleges, universities, industrial companies, and retail wholesale, and transportation businesses. This course will also help the student develop the interpersonal skills necessary to work effectively within groups. During the management major's last semester, MGMT 425 Professional Skills for Managers II is taken.
