Major in Management
Organizations today demand
responsive leaders who can provide future vision, manage change,
be entrepreneurial, manage across the organization, and work effectively
with a diverse workforce. The management major prepares women to
assume managerial leadership positions in a variety of organizations:
entrepreneurial ventures, large corporations, and not-for-profits.
Students are provided with an understanding of managerial roles,
activities, and the functions of business. Particular emphasis is
given to understanding oneself and others in a globally competitive
and multicultural world. Graduates of this program are generalists
who can think critically, make ethical decisions, reason quantitatively,
and communicate effectively about complex organizational issues.
There are unlimited opportunities today for women
in management. Graduates with this major have been successfully
placed in high technology, financial services, health care, and
communications. Electives offer students the opportunity to specialize
in human resource management, international, or cross-cultural management.
Careful consultation with one of the management advisers will allow
students to take advantage of the many creative interdisciplinary
options available at Simmons.
