The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Management is a 124-credit program is designed to serve students who are interested in pursuing future careers as managers or small business owners. The program provides the foundation of core competencies, theoretical and technical bodies of knowledge in the content areas of management, business, as well as SUNY liberal arts and general education requirements. 

The B.S. in Management includes a set of required courses that all students must take, along with SUNY General Education and other academic requirements, in order to be eligible to receive a degree. The required courses for programs in Management can be found on the “Program Details” tab. Students should speak with their mentor to see if any credit earned through individualized Prior Learning Assessment (iPLA) or Professional Learning Evaluation (PLE) might fulfill these course requirements. Courses are offered online, through independent studies, or through a blended approach. 

The B.S. in Management is organized around a core of set of knowledge and skills (competencies) that can be demonstrated through studies, course work and/or prior learning assessment. These competencies encompass a wide range of topics within the fields of management history and theory, the social sciences, quantitative and analytical business skills, globalization, leadership, organizational behavior, human resources and strategic management. A well-designed, comprehensive degree program will, in turn, address each of these through the key learning outcomes. A capstone study will help provide the student with the opportunity to synthesize several different studies into a final learning experience.
