Program Majors
The Undergraduate Management Program offers four core majors: management, marketing, retail management, and finance. Joint majors are also available in arts administration (see Department of Art and Music) as well as in chemistry-management (see Department of Chemistry) and management information systems (see Dept. of Computer Science and Information Technology), as well as and. Students also are encouraged to double major or minor with other programs such as economics, communications, English, and computer science.

Minors for non-management and joint management majors are available in management, marketing, retail management, finance, and leadership and women.

Students are advised to declare a management major or minor in their sophomore year.

All four core majors (management, finance, marketing, and retail management) share a common set of prerequisites and required core courses.

Prerequisites outside the management department include Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Introductory Statistics (in a special section for Management majors). Required core courses include the courses in management, accounting, marketing, finance, operations, and the "capstone" courses in Strategy, Senior Seminar, and Internship.

All of these required prerequisites and common core courses, along with elective options, are detailed within the requirements for each major.

Post-Baccalaureate Program
The management program offers a one-year program for graduates of approved colleges whose undergraduate programs have been largely nonprofessional in scope. This program permits concentrated study in the various management disciplines and leads to the diploma in management. A total of thirty-two semester hours of work is required, of which twenty-four semester hours must be taken within the management program. Up to eight semester hours may be taken in complementary disciples such as economics and statistics. Each student’s program is planned in consultation with the program director and may include any courses for which prerequisites are satisfied.
