Undergraduate Programs in Management
Clark's tradition of challenging convention and changing the world is evident in our undergraduate management programs, and nurtures innovative and socially responsible entrepreneurs and industry leaders. Studying management at Clark exposes you to all functional areas of business, while teaching you the critical thinking and communication skills that are essential in a liberal arts environment and vital to the success of today's managers. Clark's Program of Liberal Studies enables you to combine your interest in management with a wide range of other interests such as film, art history and government. Clark GSOM's offerings include a management major and minor, as well as the accelerated or 'fifth year' B.A./M.B.A. and B.A./M.S.F. programs (with the fifth year tuition-free). You might also be interested in the minor in Innovation & Entrepreneurship.
Management Major
The management major is a pre-professional program that consists of 8 prerequisite courses, which you take during your first and sophomore year, and 8 required courses, which you take during your junior and senior years.
Juniors and seniors also have the option to conduct a Directed Reading project in management, under the guidance of a faculty supervisor. Students interested in the Directed Reading must complete the Undergraduate Directed Reading Form [PDF] and submit it for departmental approval.

Gabriela Suriano '13 (also an engineering student) has been creating a converter to transform direct current into alternating current using "green" energies like solar panels and wind energy. She is attempting to introduce these converters to create a more energy-efficient campus. The converter will greatly reduce the loss of energy that occurs with the use of energy-inefficient direct current generators.
