What is Management?

This program will prepare you to be a leader and innovator. You'll learn to analyze and solve problems that every organization faces daily. Effective managers design organizations that can compete in complex and volatile business environments. They also execute their strategies within these organizations. Our program focuses on cultivating such managers. You'll learn to be an ethical leader and a competent decision-maker. You'll also learn how to create goals and long-term plans, build effective teams, and motivate your employees.

First-year students need to apply to Business Undeclared for admission consideration to Gies. They then can pursue the Management degree if admitted.
