Please explain/justify the new proposal or change. 
The critical topics from one deleted course, MGMT 344 Human Resource Management, will
be covered in two courses required for all business students, MGMT 340 Management and
Organizational Behavior and MIS 257 Business Law. Coverage of HRM topics is required
by our accrediting agency, AACSB, for all business students. Further, most management
students do not work in HRM after graduation. Students interested in this specialization,
however, can take a related special topics course as an elective.
The other deleted course, MGMT 348 Entrepreneurship will become the capstone course for
all business majors, under the new course name MGMT 486 Strategic Venture Management
(see separate Program Change form).
An important goal for these adjustments to the management major curriculum is to make the
major more flexible. Students in this major may specialize in quite different subject areas,
such as entrepreneurship, international business, entertainment management or human
resource management. This is a trend in other management departments across the country.
V Copies and Electronic Submission
Once approved, the original, a paper copy and an electronic file are submitted to the Faculty Senate
Office, UH 221 (camie.foos@mso.umt.edu).
VI Department Summary Required if several proposals are submitted. In a separate document
list program title and proposed change of all proposals.
