Business Administration Majors Business Management One of the most popular majors on campus, business management is the ideal program for those interested in a career in business, whether it’s becoming an entrepreneur, marketing products, managing people and projects, analyzing business practices, or paving your way to the C-suite.
International Business With a growing global economy, it is important to understand different cultures and how business is conducted abroad. International Business gives students a more global view of business while also allowing them to study and understand the complexities of the global marketplace and international business practices.
Marketing Management If you are interested in consumer behavior and what media and messages influence buying decisions, the Marketing Management major is for you. You’ll gain the strategic thinking and analytical capabilities needed to understand and react to the demands of the customer as well as an in-depth understanding of how businesses develop, promote, price and distribute goods and services.
Sports Management Careers in sports management attract professionals who are enthusiastic about working with professional, collegiate, or recreational athletics. However, an aspiring sport manager should also have a thorough knowledge of issues that are unique to the industry. For example, financial professionals in sport need an understanding of concepts like athletic valuation to negotiate player and vendor contracts. For marketers the challenge isn’t just to sell a product, but to bring in attendees and maintain social media accounts.
