Managers play a critical role in shaping America's future.
Businesses need managers who are effective, creative, disciplined and well educated. The Business Management program gives students the necessary career skills to obtain diverse and innovative managerial and professional positions in all areas of business. Career opportunities include management positions in manufacturing companies, business and management consulting, financial planning and banking, sales management, marketing and personnel administration. The University at Stony Brook, through the W. Averell Harriman School for Management and Policy, has offered the Business Management major since 1988. Enrollment in the major has grown steadily since its inception, as has its recognition by academia and business and the number of options available to students.
