MANAGEMENT
BACHELOR OF ARTS

We don’t just teach students to be strong managers, but also effective leaders. Since managers influence all aspects of modern organizational life, we prepare students with a well-rounded curriculum comprised of a broad overview of management strategy and specifics about management’s role, tasks and practices within an organization. We teach aspiring managers how to guide a business toward its goals, manage people, and appropriate resources efficiently. In order to be successful managers, students must also learn how to cohesively integrate vision, skill, experience and leadership into their management style. Graduates of this program may find careers in a wide-range of industries, including banking, consulting or health care. Others find that they are well prepared to pursue an MBA program or enroll in our organizational leadership graduate program. 

In recent years, two of the highest performing students from the Entrepreneurship class were chosen as business plan consulting interns with TC LogiQ, a firm based out of Colorado Springs that specializes in background checks and employment screening, by the CEO of the company.

Business Core Curriculum

The defining element of a Mercyhurst business degree is a series of core courses that all business majors take, which provide a curriculum designed to foster well-rounded business leaders through hands-on learning in a variety of disciplines. Business students will build a foundation in six different areas of study, which prepares our graduates to be adaptable, collaborative leaders that are ready for today’s market. Adding a double major or a minor in another area can only also add marketability for any chosen industry!
