Management is one of the most challenging and rewarding career fields in the business world. Management is the force responsible for directing organizations towards goals or objectives. The need for well-trained and competent managers to lead and direct organizations is well-recognized. The Management major at Northeastern State University prepares you for leadership careers as managers in a variety of organizations. Our program's goals are the development of competencies in the theories and practice of management. Behavioral components focus on the team and its members and the importance of human relations in enabling the organization to meet its objectives. Decision science introduces many of the quantitative tools so important in the modern business environment. Computer applications and examples of quantitative problem solving play an important part in this aspect of the program. Strategic management focuses on the long-range survival of the organization within a changing environment.

The Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Management offers the student a choice of three areas of emphasis - General Management, Human Resource Management, or Entrepreneurship.
