MANAGEMENT
DR. BIBERMAN, Chairperson
Management involves getting things done through people. The Management major provides students with a broadbased,
generalist background that is designed to provide graduates with the skills and tools needed to successfully cope
with the challenging roles and expectations that are sweeping through organizations. “Getting things done” involves
analyzing, designing and continuously improving an organization’s structure and processes. “Through people” involves
leading, motivating, and working effectively with other people in teams and other settings. Management courses use a
variety of teaching techniques that involve a high degree of student/faculty interaction – including experiential exercises,
student presentations, simulations and team activities – to develop self-analytic skill development, team and communication
skills. Graduates of the major will practice skills in coping with the needs of organizations in the areas of
social responsibility, globalization and the understanding of a regulatory environment. Students are encouraged to work
with their faculty and advisors in choosing from a variety of courses to design a program of study that will prepare
them to enter a variety of positions in private industry, government, educational institutions, small businesses, and notfor-profit
organizations.
