Management
 
 

Good management requires strong business expertise as well as the ability to see the big picture. In this major, you will gain a broad base of business smarts and learn to manage a company’s technical, financial and human resources. Whether you’re running a small audio store or heading a division of an international corporation, the Management major gives you the tools you will need to effectively manage for competitive advantage.

Program Particulars

  • With Champlain's "Upside Down" curriculum you'll start taking management courses in your first semester. In Years 3 and 4, you'll develop the communication and problem-solving skills today’s employers expect while you expand your management expertise, culminating in a bachelor’s degree in Business.
  • Our renowned Core Business curriculum allows you to gain exceptional skills in management, information technology, communications and marketing.
