Management
Management | Undergraduate BBA
The Management Program, which offers a Bachelor of Business Administration degree, is built upon a basic foundation of general education and the business core. The undergraduate program clearly offers a broad-based professional education in management.
We are in an era in which professional interests and larger social considerations tend to be in conflict at every turn, and professional education programs all over the country are competing with one another in their attempts to develop the ideal curriculum.
A sound undergraduate business education must emphasize the broader facets of the general education requirements as well as the business core subjects.
In our times of growing social awareness, meeting this challenge would appear to be essential. It is important, therefore, to emphasize that our Management Curriculum is designed to prepare our graduates to meet both professional and societal expectations.

The HU School of Business follows a comprehensive and multi-faceted assurance of learning process in accordance with AACSB standards. All degree programs are assessed by direct measures on the “Business School Core Competencies” and respective “program learning goals” created by Department faculty. Assessment questions are created by faculty and distributed by the Office of the Associate Dean to seniors at the end of their matriculation. The Office of the Associate Dean then reports the data to the Department faculty, who will review and identify any improvement strategies based on the desired target. After implementation, and alongside any surveys determined necessary to any stakeholders, the Office of the Associate Dean will again send the original assessment questions to seniors at the end of their matriculation. Occurring on a staggered, 5-year cycle, this plan “closes the loop” in the year-to-year continuous improvement but also closes the larger “loop” by assessing across the 4-year matriculation cycle.
