management principles to oversee development and innovation, enhance
quality and productivity, and assume leadership roles within companies.
As a student of our management program, you will gain a working
knowledge of both management and technology. You will acquire a solid
background in all areas of management, along with the analytic and
managerial skills you need to administer organizational resources. The
curriculum covers finance, marketing, operations, organizational
behavior, economics, and business law. The only undergraduate program of
its kind in Massachusetts, and one of only a few in the nation, this
program offers an innovative curriculum that prepares students to manage
technology development and implementation, and accomplish organizational
goals. Classroom studies are complemented by hands-on lab work and the
successful completion of two co-op work semesters beginning junior year.
This program is accredited by the International Assembly for Collegiate
Business Education. (See
