Bachelor of Science Degree in Systems Organization and Management

The Systems Organization and Management degree program offers students an introduction to the theory, principles and foundations underlying management of large organizations. This is accomplished by providing students the tools necessary to make choices based upon the recognition of relationships between human resources, organizational behavior and organizational design. Students will also understand how to establish priorities within a technological dependent environment. Students are challenged to utilize a comprehensive compendium of courses in management, economics, finance, marketing and the liberal arts to solve complex organizational management problems. In addition, a generous number of electives afford students an opportunity to explore new or related areas of interest to complement required courses. Students completing the degree program are equipped for entry and mid-level management positions in both the public and private sector.
