Management Major

Management Degree (BA)

This program is currently under a “teach-out” plan. The program will be discontinued, but current students enrolled in the program will be allowed to complete their degrees.

Majoring in management means you’ll be able to strategically analyze, plan, and execute solutions as a leader in almost any career setting. Whether you’re looking to enter the corporate world, work in the nonprofit sector, or become a leader within a health care organization, having a strong background in management will help get you there with confidence.

This curriculum will teach you about management through different approaches, applying math through statistics and accounting or the humanities through legal theories and classical ideas about leadership. Lessons from our experienced professors will bring you up to speed on the latest digital tools and show you what it takes to run a successful business.

You’ll get the chance to test out your skills through hands-on learning opportunities via internships, practicum courses, study abroad, domestic study away, or writing-based business plan development.

Take your major even further at Lynchburg with the Management Consulting Group, a for-credit experiential learning course. You’ll get direct consulting experience while working on projects that make an impact on community organizations.
