This major is designed for students who expect to hold managerial positions in large or small organizations. While most students choose to develop their program around human resources management, a flexible curriculum allows them to tailor their degree around general management areas to fit particular interests. The curriculum includes courses in management and policy, communication, economics, psychology, and sociology.

The knowledge of management strategies, policy, communications, economics, psychology, and sociology gained from a major in Business Management provides a strong career foundation for work in human resources, general management, account services, and marketing and communications for small and large businesses and organizations in a broad range of fields. This major is also excellent preparation for graduate studies in business administration, economics, or public policy.
