Department of Management
The Department of Management encompasses the areas of management, human resource management, organizational behavior, business policy, management of nonprofit organizations, entrepreneurship, and international business. The curriculum is designed to offer students either a broad-based background preparing them for entrance into managerial positions or specialized training in an area of concentration.
At the undergraduate level, the department offers a major in management, nonprofit management, or human resource management, as well as the option to pursue a second major in international studies.
Management MajorSociety recognizes the importance of understanding both management itself, and the complex nature of the organizations (in business, government, hospitals, and universities) in which managers operate. The faculty is devoted to improving this understanding through the study of individual and group behavior, organizational theory, and human resource development.
The undergraduate courses offered in this major focus not only on the broad aspects of management and organization, but also on developing skills for dealing with problems of motivation, organization design, and the increasingly complex problems of human resource allocations in our interdependent society.
This major provides the flexibility to accommodate students whose interests include preparation for corporate management training positions, application of behavioral science to management, personnel function in both line and staff capacities, and managing the small business.

This program is designed for students whose career objectives lie in the field of personnel management. From its early beginnings as a staff function involving the maintenance of records and the administration of benefit programs, personnel administration has grown to encompass the total development and deployment of human resources in organizations.
While company titles may vary from vice president of industrial relations to vice president for organization planning and development, few firms of any size or consequence today do not have a human resource management specialist reporting directly to the company’s highest level. This practice reflects the awareness that the people who work in an organization are its greatest asset.
For this reason, the curriculum in human resource management is designed to acquaint the student with modern personnel management in its broadest sense. Included are both the traditional areas of personnel administration and labor relations (such as employment, management development, wage and salary administration, organizational planning, and contract negotiation) and developments in the behavioral sciences that have implications for a complete human resource management program.
The objectives at the undergraduate level are to provide students with the broad spectrum of knowledge they need for a career in organizational leadership, to prepare them for a career in human resource management, and to encourage and develop an interest in further study and research in this area.
