MANAGEMENT (BSBA) 9
Entrepreneurship Concentration
Entrepreneurship is the key to economic growth for the United States and the Mobile region. The Entrepreneurship concentration
is designed to create an "innovation" focused mindset that produces entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial leaders in ALL sectors
of the society including: starting businesses, working in financing careers, innovative educators, franchise owners, economic
development officials and social entrepreneurs. The concentration allows students to choose a combination of courses that best
match their interests and entrepreneurial opportunities.
General Management Concentration
The General Management concentration offers courses designed to give students a solid foundation in the field of Management
and will enable them to become effective managers, problem-solvers, and decision-makers in the world of business, industry,
and government. Emphasis is placed upon problem recognition and anticipation, problem solving, and managerial decisionmaking. The thrust of the curriculum is to give students insight into the means for improving the productivity and efficiency of
modern organizations.
Human Resource Management Concentration
Managers have become aware of the significant impact on the bottom line of effective utilization of the human resources in an
organization. As a result, the Human Resource Manager has become a key person on the top management team. The Human
Resource Management concentration provides students with the skills and knowledge to become a proficient practitioner in this
leading organizational field.
The Department of Management also oversees the General Business Degree.
Online General Business Major
The online general business major is designed for students that have completed, or are in the process of completing, the freshman
and sophomore level degree requirements and who desire to complete a business degree through the online delivery of the
junior and senior level requirements.
The program assumes the student has completed 62 credit hours of general education and sophomore level business
requirements. Students enrolled in the general business online degree program must complete 60 credit hours of junior and
senior requirements and all of these courses are available online each year.
The online courses curriculum allows the student to complete the program in two years or five semesters. Although the curriculum
is set up for a five semester sequence, students are not required to complete the courses in the listed sequence. Additionally,
students are not required to enroll in a certain number of courses each semester to participate in the online degree program.
