Business Management and Supervision

The Management curriculum is designed to provide a sound familiarity with many intricate but practical business concepts. Furthermore, it is designed to expose students to the challenges facing today's managers in both business and industry.

The process of management is the pursuit of goals. Management consistently involves four basic functions - planning, organizing, directing, and controlling. Each function addresses a particular set of problems and requires a particular set of skills.

Much of management is people oriented. The importance of leadership, closeness with customers and employees, motivation, and communication are lessons that business persons must know well.

The curriculum is composed of general education courses to broaden the student's educational base, major required courses to provide a broad base of management expertise, and a block of electives. The electives allow the student to build (with the advice and consent of the program director) a unique educational experience designed to meet individual needs.

Studies have shown that students who transfer from community colleges do as well or better than those who began at the four-year institution.

Wallace State instructors have years of experience. They share insight that might otherwise take students years to learn. With managed class sizes, Wallace State instructors make sure students receive one-on-one attention in a relaxed yet professional environment.
