General Management
Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree

The bachelor of science in management program is targeted toward meeting a need across a broad spectrum of industries for qualified managers who have generalized training in their profession. Graduates of this program will be able to secure entry-level to mid-level management positions in small or large corporations. The management program is designed to enable individuals to further their education, gain valuable management expertise, and take maximum advantage of credits earned at other institutions or through professional training.

The program will also be open to traditional four-year students. These students will be required to work with a faculty advisor to use the 30 elective credits to design a coherent concentration in an area other than those offered in traditional management degrees. For example, a student might select courses in aeronautical engineering technology to fashion a concentration in technology management. Faculty advisors will ensure that this degree plan is academically sound and can be completed within four years. Students of the four-year program will concentrate on subjects as diverse as financial accounting, principles of economics, industry and labor relations, business communications and technical writing. While pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in management, students add valuable experience to their résumés by participating in an internship or cooperative education program. Opportunities are available with major leading corporations in the New York and New Jersey areas.
