Management Major and I&E Track

Management Program Requirements

The management major incorporates a variety of disciplines to form an applied preprofessional program. The undergraduate management major, minor and the M.B.A. and M.S.F. programs are accredited by the AACSB-International —The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

The required curriculum for management majors consists of eight prerequisite courses taken during the freshman and sophomore years, and eight required courses taken during the junior and senior years. Students must have a minimum 2.0 overall grade-point average to declare management as a major. Students must take courses in the management major for letter grades. A minimum of 2.0 cumulative grade-point average in the major courses is required for graduation. Students interested in graduate study toward an M.B.A. or M.S.F. degree through Clark’s accelerated program are encouraged to minor in management and consider alternative complimentary majors such as Communication and Culture, Economics, Global Environmental Studies or Government and International Relations.
