The Department of Management and marketing offers programs of study leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in (1) business administration, (2) management, or (3) marketing. The departmental requirements for each of these degree programs are listed below.
All majors in the Department of Management and Marketing must meet requirements of the advanced business prerequisite for enrollment in upper-division courses, must complete the common body of knowledge courses as listed previously and require a minimum grade of C for courses in their major and MGT 4520.
Students outside the business major may take business courses, and are not held to advanced business standing requirements, but they should first check with course instructors to see if they meet other prerequisites. The College of Business Academic Advising Office (COB/AAO) oversees the formal petition process that provides non-majors permission to take business courses, and COB/AAO should be the next step in getting permission after getting consent of the instructor.
Business and accounting 3000- and 4000- level courses are reserved for those with junior level standing or above whether majors or non-majors.
Entrepreneurship Emphasis
The college emphasizes entrepreneurship as an area of study for business students, and others as well. Entrepreneurship focuses on starting businesses and is recommended for all those students who think they might want to own and run their own business some day. It is formally available as a minor.
A minor in entrepreneurship features business courses that are most likely to be important to the creator of a new venture and/or the owner-operator of a growing business or family business. The minor includes exposure to entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship, creation of a new business concept, and formulation of a business plan that can serve as a springboard for a new venture.
Business Administration
Students who elect to major in the business administration curriculum acquire a comprehensive understanding of business as a whole. Through exposure to all functional areas in business, students are afforded the opportunity to develop broad skills and knowledge. The business administration degree prepares students for a wide variety of career opportunities in business and government.
In addition to university, college and departmental requirements cited previously, requirements for business administration majors include:
- Finance/accounting - FIN 4520, ACCT 2110 (6 hours)

Decision Sciences
The decision sciences curriculum is designed to serve students with a variety of majors. While no major is offered in decision sciences, a minor is available for students wishing to augment their major with quantitative and computer-based decision-making tools. Decision sciences courses emphasize applications in operations management.
Decision Sciences (DSCI) Courses
Management
Management is the act of directing the activities of an organization or a part of an organization. Managers work through others to reach organizational goals so the study of management includes study of people at work.
Managers must understand how people react to different organizational arrangements. They must be familiar with the basic human resource systems such as selection, appraisal, compensation and training. They must also be able to predict human behavior under a variety of circumstances.
Managers must understand the basics of determining a strategy for the organization to follow. The curriculum leading to a major in management is designed to provide both the tools and perspective necessary to help the motivated graduate move into a career in management.

Marketing includes all business activities necessary for turning goods and services into revenue. Marketing embraces a wide area of highly specialized and technical occupations such as merchandising and consumer and product research as well as general fields such as retailing, advertising and professional selling.
Courses of study recommended for marketing majors are designed to meet two specific needs: to provide an environment which will enable students to develop mental skills, technical tools and appropriate attitudes essential for professional achievement; and to provide an opportunity for cultural development which enable both men and women to form intelligent judgments and opinions relating to those things which so vitally affect every day living.
In addition to university, college and departmental requirements cited previously, requirements for the marketing major include:
