The B.S. in Management is a 124-credit program, listed with SUNY and New York State Education Department as a registered bachelor of science degree program in management.

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 Bachelor of Science (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 will work with a faculty mentor to develop a degree plan that matches their goals and meets all program requirements. 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 Bachelor’s Degree Program 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.
