The major objective of the of the Management minor is to train broadly competent administrators for service in a wide variety of organizations - public or private, product- or service-oriented, profit or not-for-profit.

The Department of Management offers courses in such areas as consulting, change management, human capital management, strategy, and entrepreneurship. The program offers students the opportunity to acquire knowledge about the management of human and physical resources and to acquire skills useful in the management of any organization. From time-to-time every organization experiences the need to renew its ability to compete and often uses external advisors to assist in the process. These consulting processes often involve extensive analyses of the firm's competitive position, capabilities, organizational processes, culture, etc. Once a new direction is developed the process of implementing the changes must be managed.
