Management

Bachelor of Arts

We don鈥檛 just teach students to be strong managers but also effective leaders. Since managers influence all aspects of modern organizational life, we prepare students with a well-rounded curriculum comprised of a broad overview of management strategy and specifics about management鈥檚 role, tasks, and practices within an organization. We teach aspiring managers how to guide a business toward its goals, as well as manage people and appropriate resources efficiently. In order to be successful managers, students must also learn how to cohesively integrate vision, skill, experience, and leadership into their management style. Graduates are prepared to begin their careers in entry-level management positions or start their own businesses, and they can also opt to enroll in an MBA program.

In recent years, two of the highest performing students from the Entrepreneurship class were chosen as business plan consulting interns with TC LogiQ, a firm based out of Colorado Springs that specializes in background checks and employment screening, by the CEO of the company.
