The Bachelor of Arts degree in Management prepares students for careers in managing organizational resources in government, profit and non-profit organizations and graduate study. The task of the manager is to coordinate the activities of people and resources to accomplish organizational objectives. The manager must perform a variety of roles for the organization to achieve its goals: planner, leader, motivator, innovator, problem-handler, decision-maker and critical thinker. Since the manager is focused on people and processes, the management program is designed to provide its students with a solid grounding in people skills, communication skills, and organizational skills. Graduates typically go on to employment in various industries to
include wholesale and retail services, the military, and all levels of the government.
