Department of Management and Marketing

The Department of Management and Marketing offers three major programs leading to a Bachelor of Science degree: Management, Marketing and Human Resources Management.

The purpose of the Management program is to enable undergraduate management students to understand management concepts and to acquire application skills that will allow them to function creatively, flexibly, and successfully in private or public domestic and global organizations of any size, while contributing to the betterment of the organization and its emplyees. Management majors choose one of two options: General Management or Entrepreneurship.

The purpose of the Marketing program is to prepare students for careers in domestic and international marketing. The focus is on acquiring and analyzing information on consumers, competitors and the business environment, and the creation of effective marketing strategies. These professional capabilities are further guided by the need to maximize consumer well-being, environmental protection and organizational success.

The program in Human Resources Management helps students build the knowledge and skills to recruit, train and develop employees and implement programs, as well as processes to retain a skilled and knowledgeable workforce. It also includes the development of compensation and benefits packages, incentive programs and health and safety initiatives, thus fostering a supportive and inclusive working environment.

Other programs in the Department include a Minor in Business Administration (for non-business majors), a Minor in International Business (for non-business majors and business majors), and a minor in Management (for business majors). The minor in Marketing (for business majors) is temporarily closed.
