Management

Management

The Management major and minor prepares students to engage in responsible decision-making. Graduates take the lead in managing projects at the organizational and operational levels. Being an ethical manager in today's business world involves managing the business organization by building a strong sustainable organization and fostering cooperative relationships with the government, the community, labor unions, non-government organizations, and other external social forces. Duquesne's comprehensive management program prepares students to take a managerial role in any business organization, of any size, and in any industry.

The Management major provides students with a large number of potential career paths. Nearly every area of business seeks individuals trained and able to manage people, projects or the organization. Coupled with a solid background in a functional area, positions are available in retail sales management, financial services management, purchasing management, and information systems management, as well as human resource management positions. Many entry-level positions are offered by business organizations for management trainees, seeking individuals with a solid background in the various management skills: decision making, managing personnel, projects or the organization. Certain industries or services seek managers for positions such as government staff managers, compliance managers, health service managers, and human resource managers.

The Management major is designed to be an excellent companion with any other major or minor offered within the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business. The courses in the Management major complement the functional areas of study offered by other business school areas of study, such as Marketing, Information Systems and Technology, Finance, and Accounting. Students who are completing another major only need to complete the six required courses for a major in Management; the two elective Management courses are satisfied by the courses completed in the student's other major.
