Welcome to the web site of the Department of Management and Organization. In this department we examine the broad field of organization studies and their application to the leadership of business and not-for-profit organizations. Our participation in academic programs is always constructed to help prepare students for life in general and careers in particular. At the undergraduate level our major prepares students for entry level positions in management, supervision, human resources, administration, and entrepreneurship. The Management and Organization minor can also be combined with other minors in the College to create the General Business major. At the masters level, we contribute heavily to two programs: the Master of Business Administration and or specialized Graduate Leadership Program - the Master of Science in Management: Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness. The content of the courses offered in these programs is intended to help develop professional leadership skills in our students. The Ph.D. degree is designed to prepare graduates for scholarly careers as university professors. Throughout our coursework there is a consistent emphasis on ethics and virtue. The department strongly believes that leadership is not just a skill - it is also an attitude. We are deeply committed to our responsibility to help contribute positively to the next generation of leaders. If I can answer any questions or provide any assistance, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Dr. Alan Balfour Chair, Department of Management & Organization Director, M.S. in Management Program
