Regardless of the industry, ask any seasoned executive and they will tell you that the most important skill any professional could possess is the ability to effectively manage others. The Dahl School of Business provides its students with relevant, useful management skills. In contrast to other programs, we provide this within a personal context that emphasizes values and ethics.  Our goal is not only to turn out excellent business practitioners, but also to help them become visionaries, strategic thinkers, and principled leaders who have a sense of the common good.  Organizations today are looking for people who can make sound, ethical business decisions.

To be an effective manager, an individual needs a broad knowledge of the practice of management, the workings of business and the economy, and the behavior of people. The knowledge obtained in the Dahl School of Business' management program will qualify the student for a broad range of beginning managerial positions in business organizations. The Management major allows learners maximum flexibility in choosing courses from five areas of concentration that are of special interest to them.  The major is considered a broad fields program that prepares the learner for entry-level management jobs in a variety of fields and/or to go on to graduate school.
