Management
Coordinator: John Alexander Gildea
The courses included in the management minor are those that would be particularly useful for a student intending to earn an M.B.A. or to seek an entry-level position in business. However, the minor does not encourage students to develop business skills in any narrow sense. Rather, drawing on the breadth and depth of the courses offered in the liberal arts tradition, the minor seeks to foster an understanding of business' role in society and to reinforce a high level of literacy in the basic areas of quantitative and communication skills.
