Overview

The general business emphasis is for students wishing to meet specific career or educational goals, including working in a family business or preparing for a graduate program. To round out their management education, general management students have the ability to choose from courses in the areas of finance, marketing, supply chain/operations, and organizational behavior.

Options

Students in the general business emphasis are often going on to graduate school-many attend medical, dental, optometry, business or law school, or are seeking employment in smaller organizations in which they will have responsibilities covering multiple functional areas. They desire to gain a strong business background but don't want to specialize in one area.

Outlook

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, positions for managers will grow at about the same rate as jobs overall between 2004 and 2014.
