Management

Program Description

The management discipline is the heart of business administration and an integral part of the business curriculum. A major in management at Jacksonville University provides students with the foundation to explore the history of management and various management concepts and to develop management and leadership skills. The program is designed to provide the student with an understanding of the application of diverse management concepts, from the basic principles of the development of organizational objectives to the strategies necessary to meet these objectives. It gives the students the opportunity to address the management decision making in a simulated real-life setting. The critical skills for working with people, the effective behavior of leaders in organizations, the development and application of management information systems, and the efficient operation of an organization are all stressed in this area.
