I have now been part of the management discipline for seven years and, in this time, have had the opportunity to see how the discipline is taught in different universities. I can say with certainty that the education I received at Trent was both of high quality and unique. A firm commitment to maintaining rigorous academic standards has ensured that the graduates of the program have strong conceptual skills and are able to communicate their ideas effectively. We are given the opportunity to work with small groups, to develop skills rather than hide in large groups. The B.A.S. provides individuals with skills enabling them to contribute in a wide variety of occupations.
Graduates are able to see change involving both work flow and the human element.
The program stresses that those who maintain awareness, question critically, and are receptive to change, will thrive in the dynamic global society. The program has changed the way I look at organizations. Students have many opportunities to obtain knowledge from professionals as well as peers and to gain practice at problem-solving, presentation, and group dynamics. We get a broad perspective on all areas of management. The program has very practical applications.
