Overview

A Management major will give you the core knowledge of the methods, concepts and principles needed to handle the challenges and opportunities that arise in the business world. It will also provide you with an understanding of the economy and the analytical tools of the economist.

During your junior or senior year we encourage you to take at least one, credit-bearing internship. With New York City and the corporate headquarters of MasterCard Worldwide and PepsiCo nearby, you will have exceptional opportunities.

In addition to a career in business or the non-profit sector the Management program will also provide an excellent background for graduate or professional study.

Note: Courses with the MGT code are not liberal arts. As with all non-liberal arts courses at the College, this is indicated by double asterisks after the title of the course. Students majoring in Business Management are encouraged to have a liberal arts minor, and are urged to plan carefully to ensure that they will have the 90 liberal arts credits required for the B.A. degree or the 60 liberal arts credits required for the B.S. degree.

Students wishing to double major in business management and another field may not take the B.S. degree unless their second major is in Marketing or Accounting.

Business Management Major Requirements for the B.A. and B.S. Degree

All business management majors are required to take the following nine courses:

ACC 1002	Fundamentals of Accounting I**
ACC 1008	Fundamentals of Accounting II**
ECO 1011	Principles of Macroeconomics
ECO 1012	Principles of Microeconomics
ECO 2060	Economic & Business Statistics
MGT 1001	Fundamentals of Management**
MGT 1007	Computer Concepts with Business Applications**
MGT 3090/ECO 3997	Capstone Seminar** or Senior Seminar
MKT 1003	Introduction to Marketing**

Senior Seminar (ECO 3997 must be taken for departmental honors) Students may take both ECO 3997 and MGT 3090 and one will count as an elective.

Elective Courses:

Business Management majors who do not choose an area of concentration must take 3 electives. In addition to the management-designated courses (coded MGT), students may take any accounting, economics, finance or marketing course as an elective (any course coded ACC,ECO, FIN or MKT).

Business Management majors who choose an area of concentration must choose their electives from the courses listed under their concentration. For the Human Resource Management concentration, students must take 1 additional required course and choose 3 electives, for a total of 13 courses. For the International Management concentration, students must choose an additional 3 electives, plus complete 3 area studies courses, for a total of 15 courses.

Note: Students can choose a department related double major. Those who choose this option are not permitted to minor in a department related subject. Students with one department related major are allowed one department related minor. Other students are permitted at most two, department related minors. Please note that courses may not be double counted by students who choose a major or minor (or two majors) within the Department. This double counting can be avoided by taking additional electives.

Senior Seminar

The seminar is offered only during the fall semester. Students undertake research on a topic approved by the instructor and use management tools and techniques to reach conclusions. The results of the research project are presented in a senior thesis and discussed in a seminar format. A grade of C- is the minimum standard for a successful senior evaluation. Students not taking the Senior Seminar, must take the MGT 3090 Capstone Seminar. Students may take both if they desire and only students who take the Senior Seminar will be considered for departmental honors at graduation.
