College

You’ll learn how to be a savvy leader who can communicate, plan and solve problems effectively. Management is a universal need, so your knowledge and skills will be valued in every field – from corporations to nonprofits to government agencies.

As a management major, you’ll gain a solid foundation in all aspects of management, including presentational speaking, organizational behavior, human resources, operations management, management information systems, international management and strategic management.

Networking is key in business, and it’s key in the College of Business Administration, too. With our small class sizes, you’ll get to know your professors and they will get to know you. In fact, you’ll be assigned a faculty advisor who will mentor you from day one until graduation. You’ll also interact with and learn from business leaders, senior executives, entrepreneurs and ��«Ӱҵ alumni who’ve forged amazing careers in many different fields.

Upon graduation, you’ll be ready for whatever the future holds, whether it’s managing a small business workforce, leading project teams for a Fortune 500 company or starting your own business.

Executive Classroom

Imagine traveling to a big city and meeting with senior executives from top companies – as an undergraduate student! The Executive Classroom is a special course that focuses on leadership and teamwork. The course’s cornerstone is a trip to a major metropolitan area for intense days of meetings, networking and cultural activities. Past classes have traveled to Chicago and visited the Chicago Bears, JP Morgan Chase, AT&T, Deloitte, On Target Performance Group, Harbor Capital Advisors and Cook County Hospital.

Internships

Get a high-impact head start.

Your internship gives you a chance to work in the field and build your résumé. We help you obtain an internship that matches your interests and career aspirations. While many students intern in Ohio, others choose to complete an internship in another state or internationally. Most internships are paid, and many result in offers of full-time employment upon graduation.

I would say ��«Ӱҵ is the best college for studying business because 96 percent of students have been offered jobs after graduation. It gives opportunities to every student to make connections with the professionals in their field, which will be a plus point in finding a job.
