To thrive in today’s challenging marketplace, businesses need attentive managers and inspirational leaders, people who can motivate employees and meet the ever-changing expectations of customers.

Management and leadership skills are essential for a successful career and promotion in any industry. Our Management and Leadership program is designed to develop these professional skills via courses in leadership, team building, influence, interpersonal communication, and organizational analysis.

While technical skills can be critical in landing an entry-level job, the management and leadership major is designed to support your unique professional goals and is only offered as a second major. The program is designed to complement the disciplinary knowledge and skills of the student’s primary major in accounting, finance, international business, business systems and analytics, or marketing, or a minor in risk management. A minor in management and leadership can also be designed by students majoring in a non-business field.
