The Major
The major in management is designed to provide graduates with the fundamental personal, interpersonal, conceptual, and technical knowledge and skills they need to effectively manage organizational operations.
The focus of the management program is on the knowledge-base and skills which underlie effective management practice irrespective of organization- or industry-type. Thus, graduates of the management program typically seek college-entry-level positions in general management or management-trainee positions in virtually any field – from banking to health care to manufacturing to sports or transportation (and so on).
Curriculum Students majoring in management are required to complete a comprehensive program of general education, business administration, management, and elective coursework. General education courses include English composition and literature, speech, history, science, mathematics and statistics, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences. Business administration courses include accounting, economics, finance, information systems, business communication, and marketing. Management courses include managerial and organizational behavior, human resources administration, organizational change and improvement, business policy and strategy, and production and operations management – as well as a choice of management electives in areas such as international, total quality, or small business management. Elective coursework can be chosen in a variety of fields outside of business, as a particular student's interests dictate. Students must complete at least 58 semester hours of non-College of Business coursework (of which the general studies or other graduation requirements can be a part). Students majoring in management must complete the 23 courses listed below (several of these also fulfill general studies requirements). Students must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.50 after having completed the 11 courses marked with an asterisk in the list – plus ENG 101 College Writing, ENG 291 Advanced Writing, and SPE 101 Principles of Speech Communication. Transfer students must complete at least 50%, 12 of the required 24 courses, in residence at NKU.
