Ideal for both traditional undergraduates as well as adult students already in the professional environment, the Business Management major teaches students how to lead in business and work with others effectively, efficiently, and profitably regardless of the organization's size or industry sector. Business Management majors have many opportunities to network, meet business leaders, learn through internships, and understand the intricacies of the ever-evolving industry. Business Management courses provide theoretical and practical skills in a wide range of areas including change management, intrapreneurship, applicable technologies, communication, research, management, and supervisory skills.

Students are encouraged to join a Fox student professional organization that meets their interests and to explore a minor or certificate program in addition to their major. Courses taken for the major will not also count for a minor or certificate.

Online BBA Program

The Business Management major is available as an online BBA degree completion program designed for new and continuing students. Please visit the Online BBA web site for program and admission information.

Minors

Corporate Social Responsibility Minor

Open to business or non-business students.

The Corporate Social Responsibility Minor is for students who want to understand and be part of a growing movement to use business as a force for social and environmental good. The courses in the Minor emphasize that the traditional stockholder-primacy model of business is insufficient and even harmful for communities and our ecosystem, and that a multi-stakeholder model of business is more commensurate with societal expectations that businesses should contribute to solving the large social and environmental problems of our day. Businesses today are setting goals and measuring impact in terms of their effects on people and planet as well as profit, and the Minor encourages students to explore the ways that they might contribute in their careers to this emerging Triple Bottom Line.

Requirements for this minor must be completed prior to graduation. Courses cannot be used to meet minor requirements if already used to meet the requirements for a major or a different minor.

Sales Minor

Open to business students only.

Augment your business degree with skills and expertise in sales, persuasion, negotiation, marketing, and customer relationship management. Applicable to any business major, skills and learning from the Fox School Sales minor align with personalized career strategies and allow Fox students to differentiate themselves in a distinctive and relevant way to prospective employers.

Requirements for this minor must be completed prior to graduation. Courses cannot be used to meet minor requirements if already used to meet the requirements for a major or a different minor.

HRM 3903. Honors - Management, Theory & Practice: From the Locker Room to the Board Room. 3 Credit Hours.

Whether a pick-up game at the local rec. center or a nationally-televised Final Four dream match-up, the game of basketball provides an ideal context for examining group dynamics, ethics, and motivation in organizations. For example, in basketball, the number one draft pick is only as dominant as the teammates (s)he electrifies. Think Michael Jordan and the notorious Chicago Bulls of the 1990s. Likewise, in a corporation, the CEO is only as effective as the top management team (s)he hand-selects and mentors to success. Ball hogs, showboaters, and cheap foulers can disrupt a basketball team's rhythm in much the same way that crooks, arbitrageurs, and balance sheet cheats can impact the bottom line. In this course students will explore - directly and metaphorically - some of the tenets of basketball as they relate to the theory and practice of management in organizations.

Leadership is a hot topic in social sciences, management, and popular culture. Ask ten people "what makes a good leader?" and you might get ten different answers.

To effectively lead, having a basic understanding of the core tenets and theoretical foundations is important, but insight into your strengths and capabilities as a potential leader is essential. Thus, this course will provide you with foundational knowledge on core principles of leadership. More importantly, this course will focus on reflection, assessment, and development on the core skill sets required of effective leaders. Finally, you will be challenged to leverage your unique strengths in a team setting to enact and inspire change within your community.
