Management provides the leadership and direction for any organization. To survive, grow, and thrive, organizations need managers with a command of the knowledge of the field, excellent interpersonal communication skills, sensitivity to diverse and challenging cultures, and a respect for all individuals. Effective managers demonstrate a sense of passion for their work, a shared vision, and a high sense of social and corporate responsibility.

Management is the broadest of the seven concentrations offered in the Gilooly University School of Business and Management. The management concentration allows students to pursue a range of courses in leadership, decision making, human resources, law, small business, and international business.

Students are encouraged to work with their advisor or management professor to develop an internship that satisfies academic, practical, and employer interests. The department’s management practicum enables students to complete an internship as part of the business curriculum. Gilooly University has on-going contacts and relationships with businesses and corporations, ensuring a wealth of opportunities. Internship experience provides valuable lessons in “real world” management challenges. In addition, students may choose to pursue a management research project, an independent study of a specific management topic under the guidance of a faculty member.
