BA in Management - General Overview

The BA in Management is for people who want to explore the roles, responsibilities, and ownership needed to build a positive working environment, develop as an emotionally conscious leader, and explore ways to advance social and human justice ideals. Students will explore the application of business principles needed to build and strengthen human and social enterprises; provide a foundation to understand and lead change in a diverse and complex culture; and develop skills for innovative leadership.

Within the Management major, students can add optional emphases in the following areas: Communication, Entrepreneurship, Globalization, and Marketing. Students can also design their own emphasis provided that appropriate coursework is available on that topic. Adding emphases give students the opportunity to focus on studying areas within Management that might be of particular interest to them. 

Students must complete a minimum of 54 quarter units in management for a major. At least 27 of those units need to be upper-division coursework.

Management Minor

Students must complete a minimum of 24 quarter units in management for a minor. The faculty recommends that at least one half of the units counted toward the minor be upper division.
