Majors in Management

The Business Analytics major introduces applied data analytics by bringing together a diverse body of knowledge from consumer behavior, applied statistics, computer information systems, visualization, risk management, supply chain management, and decision theory. Students will learn how business analytics and data mining are driving real-time decision making and creating new levels of competitive advantage.

In recognition of the fundamental importance of successfully attracting, developing and managing employee workforces, the Human Resource Management major prepares students to serve in generalist HR positions, provides the necessary background to pursue more specialized positions and graduate school opportunities, and helps students gain appropriate certifications such as the Assurance of Learning certificate offered by the Society for Human Resource Management.

The Project Management major prepares students to help organizations bring quality products and services to market in a timely manner. Without skilled project managers leading these efforts, organizations are challenged to deliver projects on time, on budget, and within scope. Regardless of the industry or mission, project management is the value driver that helps organizations maximize the use of their resources and achieve strategic goals.

Business analytics, human resource management and project management majors are required to complete at least one internship for academic credit through BUS 3985.
