Program Description
The Bachelor of Science degree in Management prepares students for careers as professional managers in corporations, governmental organizations, and small businesses. In addition, the program provides a foundation for graduates who wish to pursue advanced degrees in business and public administration, law, and the social sciences. The curriculum gives students a broad exposure to the functional areas of business and allows each to select an emphasis area in a subject that is germane to individual career interests. The Management curriculum provides an examination of the social, legal, political, and economic environments in which organizations must operate; an understanding of the functional areas of business and their interrelationships; and a knowledge of behavioral science, applied statistics, and mathematics as they relate to organizational problem solving. The program is accredited by AACSB International. Students wishing to change majors into the management program must have a 2.0 or higher Clemson cumulative grade-point average and have completed the Pre-Business program. Bridge students wishing to move into the Management program must complete all pre-business requirements and successfully meet the requirements to cross the bridge to Clemson. Program Requirements
