Major Programs: Management and International Management

The focus of the management and the international management majors is somewhat broader than typical majors in business administration. While business administration programs prepare students specifically for careers in private, for-profit firms, management skills are also required in such areas as government, education, and health care, in addition to private business. All of the evidence indicates that in order to pursue a successful career in management the student needs to develop skills in the ollowing areas:

  • written and oral communications
  • mathematics
  • computers
  • financial accounting
  • statistics
  • management, marketing, and finance
  • economics, sociology and psychology
  • working in and with groups
  • dealing with values or ethical issues

Required and elective coursework is designed specifically to meet these needs. The overall goal of the major is to produce an educated person who can deal effectively with the demands of finding both that “first job” and a successful career. An internship (M&E 3960 or INTD 5990) is recommended, but not required. Approximately 75 percent of majors begin their employment career upon graduation. The remainder go to graduate school in a number of areas, including law, industrial relations, and business and public administration. Students have enjoyed success in gaining admission to prestigious graduate schools.

Note:


Other language options are available through ACTC pending approval of department chair.

A student may test out of these language courses on the basis of proven competency as determined by the department. Testing out is most probable for courses 1110-3220.

In each list, the last two courses are fairly advanced. In addition to the language options identified above, options involving other languages can be developed in consultation with the department of modern languages or the student’s advisor within the department of management and economics - especially for international students.

With the approval of the department chair


With the approval of the department chair, non-native English speakers may substitute the following two courses for the language requirement:
