Management Learning Outcomes

The Bachelor of Science in management program is designed to help students gain wisdom in vocation, life, and society by living out the SAU concept through the art and practice of management. The curriculum emphasizes the development of decision making, problem solving, communication, and critical thinking skills necessary for the effective management of people, projects, and processes within organizational environments. The program objectives are categorized into six specific areas: leadership development, effective communication, decision making, problem solving, critical thinking, and an ethical perspective.

Transfer General Education and Electives

It is very likely that transfer courses meeting the requirements for the General Education program at SAU will be more credit hours than what is listed in the program. If that is the case, students will apply those extra credit hours to possible electives.

Upper-level Course Credit Requirements

Students are required to complete 36 credit hours in upper-level courses (numbered 300 and above) in order to graduate. However, the number of upper-level course credits built into this program do not total 36. Students in the management program should include upper-level coursework in their electives to ensure they will meet graduation requirements.

General Education Courses at SAU

Students who do not transfer courses to meet General Education requirements may take those courses at SAU or apply prior learning credit to meet those requirements. However, most courses offered at SAU that meet the requirements are worth more credit hours than what is listed in the program. Any additional credit hours above the listed number for the required courses will apply to the possible elective credit hours.

Program Oversight

The management major is overseen by the Gainey School of Business. Courses with ACC, BUS, ECN, ENT, FIN, IBS, MGT, MIS, and MKT numbers are administered by this school. Questions about this major should be directed to the program director.
