Management
A host of industries employs managers. MSU offers several options for students interested in management careers:
- B.S. in Business Administration with a major in Management (offered on campus, online, and in Bismarck, North Dakota)
- B.A.S. in Applied Management (offered online)
- Management minor (offered on campus and online)
- Management concentration (non-business majors; offered on campus and online)
What can you do with a management degree?
Managers typically plan, direct, and oversee operations and employees. They may supervise an entire company, government office, specific department, or territory. Managers often specialize in a particular field, such as sales, finance, health services, human resources, social and community services, government, and education.
Internships
MSU management students can apply classroom knowledge to real-world settings through internships. Many internships are initiated by employers, but students may - with departmental approval - seek out and develop their own internship opportunities. Internships may be full time, part time, or project oriented. All internships provide students with great hands-on learning opportunities and some lead to offers of employment.
Do you have what it takes to be a good manager?
Successful managers are skilled:
- Leaders - emotionally stable, enthusiastic and self-assured
- Communicators - relate well both to staff and superiors
- Organizers - make and execute plans to meet employers' goals
- Problem solvers - identify and resolve problems
- Flexible - able to see things from different perspectives
Employment outlook
Due to globalization, businesses are expanding around the world and creating more entry-level management positions for recent graduates.
