The management curricula provide students with an understanding of the nature of managerial work, including both the art and the science of managing. The curricula emphasize the management of human resources, as well as strategic planning, managerial problem solving, and decision making. Students choose to major in general management or human resource management consistent with their specific interests. The overall objective of these curricula is to prepare students for entry-level positions in small and large organizations, leading to line or staff management careers in either the public or private sector. Many graduates enter jobs as managerial associates, sales associates, or personnel/human resource assistants.
