Concentrations

The School of Management offers several unique concentrations. A concentration allows you to specialize in an area of particular interest. The undergraduate curriculum provides flexibility and time to decide what you are passionate about. Not sure what you want to study? Talk with the undergraduate academic advising staff, career services, alumni, faculty and other students about professions of interests and the skills needed to be successful in identified fields.

How do I graduate with a concentration?

Global Studies minor

While the School of Management does not offer a concentration in global management or international business, students interested in this area are encouraged to consider a minor in global studies.

The global studies minor curriculum builds off of general education requirements and includes a capstone project that allows students to examine business topics through a global lens. The program gives students opportunities to explore the challenges, opportunities and principles of international business, while broadening cultural competence in professional settings.
