The Offutt School of Business Difference

Earning a business degree with a concentration in management allows you to focus on the essential knowledge and abilities needed to successfully lead organizations in our current and future climate. You’ll learn core management skills such as strategic planning, goal development, organizational structure, leadership, motivation of employees and performance assessment.

Courses are highly interactive and engaging. Each management class will allow you to demonstrate management and leadership within the classroom.
