Faced with changing markets, dynamic technologies, globalization, and increasingly diverse work forces, today's managers must be prepared to meet a multitude of challenges and opportunities. The Department of Management and Labor Relations offers courses, degrees, and certificate programs that can prepare students to become effective managers for the 21st century. The department offers both a major and minor. Students who choose to major in Management and Labor Relations select either the human resource or general management track for concentration.
Students completing minors complete core courses, plus a focus area of their choosing.
Courses in the Management and Labor Relations major qualify students for entry-level positions in management, and should enable them ultimately to assume managerial positions in a variety of profit or nonprofit organizations. Students can complete a major in Management and Labor Relations in the evening. All major courses are offered at least once a year in the evening. In addition to the department's core courses, students are required to select a track and complete course requirements for the track that they have chosen to follow. This program focuses on developing a student's technical knowledge of the key management functions of planning, controlling, organizing, leading, and problem-solving.
