Overview

The Management major from Southwest Minnesota State University enables students to become well-grounded in the fundamentals of business, in addition to real work application, while the concentrations allow management students the opportunity to focus their course work on their career goals.

The faculty are professionals who have industry experience and strong academic credentials. More importantly, the faculty are dedicated educators with a passion for teaching and learning. We care about our students and are constantly improving our programs to make sure that students are fully prepared for a competitive, global world where change is the only constant.

Placement opportunities

A very important option for hands-on experience is a Management Internship. Many regional businesses highly value the SMSU Management Intern, and we encourage students to include an internship as part of their degree program. The internships are designed to provide practical management training and academic credit simultaneously.

During your internship, students will apply theories, concepts and strategies learned in the course work. Management internships are available for 1-6 credits. Students find internship opportunities in businesses, nonprofits, and public agencies.

Management careers are found in every industry. Management involves all aspects of planning, organizing, leading and controlling the activities of an organization.
