Becoming a good manager can be tough; it’s not just about inputs and outputs. You’ll need to make key strategic decisions, often without complete information, which will seriously affect your company’s direction. In the Business Administration – Management program, you’ll learn all about these types of situations, and acquire the knowledge to make smart decisions. At the School of Business Management (SBM), you’ll spend the first four semesters building a practical grounding in contemporary management theory. These four semesters are common to all School of Business Management programs. In your last two semesters, your instructors will help you fine–tune your business expertise and employability skills. You’ll focus on the professional skills required by today’s managers, including leadership, decision– making, ethics, strategy formulation, project management and communication.

The greatest challenge you’ll face as a manager is unpredictability. The regular fluctuation of a firm’s external and internal environments means that total control is never 100% possible. Having skills in place to recognize and handle these challenges is critical in today's complex business environment. As a graduate of this program, you can find work as a business analyst, executive assistant or personnel manager in industries as diverse as banking, retail, insurance, manufacturing and government.
