Message from the Chair

Welcome to the Department of Management!  We are dedicated to providing a quality education to our students.  Our mission is to help you develop competencies necessary to assume responsible leadership roles in businesses and organizations.

Our curriculum provides you with a solid foundation in management and offers you the opportunity to prepare for a wide range of organizational functions, including supplying the enterprise with raw materials and human resources, running operations, managing information flows, devising and executing business strategy, and starting new businesses.

Our twenty full-time faculty members have an unrelenting commitment to student success.  They have years of business consulting experience and have published numerous research papers that are relevant to current business practices.  Despite the diverse array of topics that comprise the discipline of management, our faculty see the topic of management holistically, giving them the ability to teach students to do the same.  For our faculty, teaching is a very high priority, but they do not lose sight of the need to keep themselves current with research, bringing new knowledge into the classroom and to the community.

We invite you to join us in the Department of Management as you prepare for a career in the highly competitive and interactive global economy.
