A management professor meets with students.
Smart, strategic decision making is one hallmark of a top manager. But there's more: deal-making savvy, a flexible operating style, a knack for moving innovative products to market quickly, a capacity to build employee morale, a flair for public speaking, and good citizenship -- any combination of these attributes may spell success for managers at any level.
Our management concentration fosters such attributes: you'll receive a solid grounding in daily management operations combined with an exciting blend of classroom learning, hands-on experience, and challenging internships. You'll be prepared to manage confidently within a corporation, an organization, or your own start-up.
Sustainability is one of the fastest-growing management strategies in global business. Companies as diverse as Citigroup, Toyota, Proctor & Gamble, IBM, and Nike all have made major commitments to sustainable practices. Even General Electric, one of America's largest corporations, has announced that it's staking its economic future on sustainable practices. The company has pledged to double its sales of environment-friendly products to at least $20 billion annually and double its R&D spending on cleaner technologies. Sound like a career opportunity? You'd better believe it!
