The Business Management program prepares students for socially responsible business leadership in careers and volunteer settings. The traditional liberal arts, combined with service-learning, internship and small group and community interactions produce creative, globally aware, articulate and ethical managers.
Students learn the skills they need to succeed in this rapidly changing world: thinking critically, solving problems in creative new ways, communicating clearly and persuasively, and developing sets of values to guide their decisions. Students are exposed to the communication techniques, analytic tools and modes of thinking of other fields of study.
