The Department of Management and Marketing offers programs of study leading to the Bachelor of Science in Business degrees in (1) Management of Human Resources, (2) Marketing, (3) Entrepreneurship, (4) Professional Sales, (5) Business Administration (online only starting Fall 2015). The departmental requirements for each of these degree programs are listed below.

All majors in the Department of Management and Marketing must meet requirements of the advanced business prerequisite for enrollment in upper-division courses, must complete the common body of knowledge courses as listed previously and require a minimum grade of C for courses in their major and MGT 4800 .

Students outside the business major may take business courses, and are not held to advanced business standing requirements, but they should first check with the Academic Advising unit of the GJSSC to see if they meet other prerequisites. They oversee the formal petition process that provides non-majors permission to take business courses, and COB/ AAC should be the next step in getting permission after getting consent of the instructor.

Business and accounting 3000- and 4000- level courses are reserved for those with junior or senior level standing whether majors or non-majors unless otherwise noted.

Graduate Study

The Department of Management and Marketing staffs most of the MBA classes (oncampus and eMBA) although the degree is a college-wide degree.

A minor in decision sciences is available for students wishing to augment their major with quantitative and computer-based decision-making tools. Decision sciences courses emphasize applications to supply chain operations management.

A cross-disciplinary minor in international business is offered to students who want to augment their majors with learning about global management, finance, economics, accounting and/or a study abroad experience.

A curriculum sheet with the international business minor requirements is available from the College of Business Peter M. & Paula Green Johnson Student Success Center in the College of Business building.
