Management is concerned with effective and efficient utilization of resources to achieve organizational goals. If resources were unlimited, there would be no need to manage them. The BSBA in Management program explores the fundamental concepts of management drawn from behavioral sciences to help students understand the nature of the rapidly changing workplace, the underlying forces contributing to this change, and leverage such understanding to enhance organizational performance.
Students pursuing the Management Supply Chain Management track will take courses that will prepare them for careers in logistics, supply chain and procurement.
All business majors are strongly encouraged to complete internships. Internships are career-related work experiences that enable students to apply their knowledge and skills in an organizational setting. In the WCBA, internships that are approved for academic credit must be paid. Completing a career-related internship increases a student's job opportunities upon graduation.
BSBA in Management Supply Chain Management Track students at Youngstown State University have the opportunity to build their leadership skills through various WCBA student organizations.
