Management
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Degree
 
|
The Department of Management in the Harmon College of Business and Professional Studies (HCBPS) at UCM offers students educational experiences that will help them address the challenges of business in a wide variety of careers.
The Management Department offers a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) with a major in Management. We also offer a Management minor. The courses in the BSBA in Management major utilize a team-based experiential learning approach, rather than lecture, to help students understand both the theory and practice of management.
In the BSBA in Management major, our students will be given the opportunity to:
- Become more effective decision makers
- Organize activities to implement decisions
- Deliver effective oral presentations and written communications
- Lead others effectively
- Develop skills and attitudes required for life-long learning and serving others
Qualified, Committed Faculty
We have highly qualified faculty with Ph.D.s and real business experience. Faculty are very committed to working with students to ensure their success. See our "How Your Management & Business Communication Faculty Can Help You" link: (www.ucmo.edu/management/about/ help.cfm).
Team-Based, Experiential Learning Style of Instruction
Faculty members prepare students to work effectively and efficiently in team environments.
The Integrative Business Experience (IBE)
The BSBA in Management requires the IBE. IBE classes create, operate, and execute start-up businesses (based on bank loans of up to $5,000 per business) and manage handson service projects for non-profit organizations. In the last 7 years, IBE teams have donated more than $200,000 in profits to non-profit organizations and have completed service projects involving more than 7,000 hours for the community.
