Program Description Many choose the general management major because it provides a comprehensive understanding of management that can take them anywhere. Others choose it because of the opportunity to design their own program. Some plan to start their own business. If you're a budding entrepreneur, then a broad-based understanding of business will position you to succeed.
Whether you’re primarily a people person or a numbers person, studying general management will help you further develop and refine what already comes naturally.
Management has traditionally been rooted in planning, organizing and leading, but has become much more than just that. Management means leading others to accomplish common goals. Today’s managers are people oriented, creative, adaptable — strong communicators who deal effectively with rapidly changing environments, work successfully with small and large teams, live and work by principles of ethics and social responsibility, and are aware of our responsibility to the environment.
