The Department of Management invites you to consider a major in management. Do you like to work with people? Need help solving people problems at work? Hope to start your own business? Want to run an environmental project? Or a bank, a store, a farm, or a government agency? Are you interested in how people from diverse backgrounds work together to achieve common goals? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should consider a degree in management. The mission of the department is to prepare graduates, with a Bachelor of Business Administration, for management careers in a broad spectrum of New Mexico, national, and globally-oriented businesses. Management graduates work in small and large agricultural, manufacturing, government, transportation, public utility, merchandising, health care, environmental, and communications organizations.

The study of management offers the opportunity to develop skills in utilizing human, physical, and economic resources to achieve organizational objectives. These are important cross- functional skills in today's competitive job market. Students will acquire the skills and knowledge to develop their potential and to lead others in a common mission. Management majors may choose from program options in human resource management, managerial leadership, operations management, or small business management, and entrepreneurship. Every candidate for a management degree must fulfill the following requirements in addition to the requirements for admission to the major and the upper-division core courses (see above).

Minor in Management

The management minor requires 18 credits in management. Business majors must take any six upper-division management or BUSA courses (3 credits each). NOTE: BUSA 361/362 totals 3 management credits for purposes of the management minor. Nonbusiness majors must take one course from MGT 201G, MGT 309, or MGT 315G; and five additional management courses. One three-credit upper-division course in the College of Business Administration and Economics may substitute for one of the required management courses for the nonbusiness major.

MAJOR: General Business

The major in general business is based on a broad range of course options rather than a narrow focus on a single discipline. Graduates find careers in large and small businesses, in government agencies, and in the nonprofit sector. The general business major is well suited to the part-time and working student because courses are available in the late afternoon and evening. The entrepreneurship option is ideal for a student interested in starting or acquiring a small business or entering a family business upon graduation. The curriculum provides a focus on small and new enterprises, thus reflecting the entrepreneurial nature of contemporary business in the U.S.

Every candidate for this degree must fulfill the following requirements in addition to the requirements for admission to the major and the upper-division core courses (see above).

Students will choose one of the two options which follow.
