As you pursue a B.S. in management, you’ll go beyond the nuts and bolts of income, revenue, forecasts, and profit margins, becoming immersed in the legal, ethical, social, and environmental dimensions of the business world.

In our classes, you’ll learn the nuances and “soft” skills that make management an art, rather than a science. Courses also stress putting theoretical knowledge into current practice; you will complete in-depth case studies and group projects based on real business challenges, and solve real-time problems for actual companies. All of your classes are taught by faculty members who are dedicated to responsible financial business practices on a global scale.
