Management Major

Program Description

The management major at CSU consists of two distinctive tracks, Management and Human resource management. Each track prepares students for successful careers in business, however the focus is different. The Management track prepares students for careers in diverse management areas, ranging from retail management, industrial management, service management, and numerous other areas. The Human resource management track, on the other hand, prepares students specifically for careers in the HR department of a company. Jointly developed with the Society for Human Resource management (SHRM) and recognized by SHRM as a SHRM aligned program, our HRM degree prepares students for the challenges of working in human resources in the 21^st century.

Good managers find ways to make their organizations successful. They do this by building competitive advantage in the forms of cost competitiveness, quality, speed, and innovation. Today’s organizations in both the private and public sectors need managers who can function effectively in uncertain and changing environments while applying known fundamentals of business practice.
