A management education in today’s marketplace should reflect the lessons of the past as well as give a solid footing in the marketplace of tomorrow. Our comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programs strive to deliver a quality education for each of our students, ensuring that they are not only competitive in the job market but well prepared for the dynamic world of business. The Department of Management in the College of Business reflects in everything it does the missions of education, research and outreach, the hallmarks of our land-grant status at Colorado State University.

Undergraduate Concentration in Management
Undergraduate students in the College of Business graduate with a Bachelor of Business Administration. You select a concentration to focus your studies beyond the business core. A concentration in management prepares you to be a leader in the workforce. Alternatively, a number of our students choose a different path after they graduate and continue their education to receive graduate degrees.

A concentration in management prepares you to coordinate, strategize, plan and motivate. Managers are responsible for overseeing a budget and the activities of others to ensure an organization’s goals are met. We are helping our students to become the managers of tomorrow by enriching our coursework with current business trends including sustainable enterprise, globalization, diversity in the workforce, social entrepreneurship, and more. We want to help our students make a difference.

Certificates
The Department of Management offers four certificates that can further enrich your undergraduate program and help you specialize your skills in your area of interest. Certificates, while not official academic programs, provide an additional knowledge base and greater visibility on student resumes.

 
• Supply Chain Management – increasingly crucial as companies look to operate efficiently and reduce costs
• Human Resource Management – learning to lead a diverse workforce with cultural competency
• Entrepreneurship – we are leading the way in sustainable entrepreneurship and social responsibility
• Leadership Communication – without effective communication, leaders cannot lead

Graduate Degrees
The Department of Management has two graduate degree programs, the Master of Management Practice and the Master of Social and Sustainable Enterprise.

The Master of Management Practice (MMP) is a 30-credit degree program. The course work focuses on delivering the primary management skill sets and training that organizations desire in candidates seeking employment in today’s marketplace. The program is designed for non-business majors but who have a minor in business or equivalent coursework. The program can be finished in one year.

The Master of Global Social & Sustainable Enterprise (GSSE) is based on the core belief that entrepreneurial and innovative enterprises can and should be a powerful force to provide solutions to the global challenges of our time. The GSSE program provides international entrepreneurs with advanced business skills to build global enterprises that achieve sustainability with results focused on the triple bottom line of economic, social and environmental performance.
