Overview
The Bachelor of Arts in Management provides students with a business-related degree with an emphasis on managing organizations and personnel in a multicultural and global setting. To achieve maximum flexibility, the major in management program minimizes prerequisites, enabling students to take the required courses in any sequence.
Bachelor of Arts in Management / Master of Arts in Management (BA MGT / MA MGT) Transition Program
Students who are currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in Management program, have at least a GPA of 3.0 and are within six courses of graduation, may register for the Bachelor of Arts in management/Master of Arts in management (BA MGT/MA MGT) transition program by taking two MA management classes as electives during the BA management program. Students choose any two of the following: MGT 601, LED 601, ELB 620, or HRM 640.
To be eligible, students must apply for and begin the MA management program within six months of completing their BA management program. The number of courses required to earn an MA/MGT degree for transition program students is reduced from 12 to 10 courses.
Students must complete graduate-level course work taken as part of the BA MGT degree with a grade of B or better. This course work will not transfer as graduate-level credit to National University or any other institution as it is part of an undergraduate degree program. Grades earned in graduate-level courses will be calculated as part of the student's undergraduate Grade Point Average.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Describe the basic functions of management and their practical implications.
- Analyze and evaluate management, leadership, and motivation theories.
- Identify organizational behavior, communications and change theories and their practical implications.
- Explain the effect of international business environmental factors (legal, economic and cultural) on the conduct of global business.
