Mission

We provide a quality, accelerated, contemporary education for those seeking careers in enterprises requiring skills attained through competency-based education.

The University of Mary recognizes that you may have taken some college courses, but never have completed a degree. We have developed a program of study to meet that need at an accelerated pace. Through the management degree program, we will help you earn your bachelor's degree while minimizing the scheduling demands of a traditional program that often conflict with work and family.

Outcomes

The outcomes of the management degree program are to improve and further develop your ability to:

• Use tools to lead and manage in an organizational context.
• Demonstrate oral and written communication skills.
• Practice problem-solving and decision-making skills.
• Understand the information-gathering process and its application.
• Utilize service as an important dimension of leadership.

The management program provides adult students who enter the program with sufficient credit hours and work experience the opportunity to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in as few as 15 months. Classes taught in seminar style simulate the work-team experience, allowing for student participation and discussion. Class size is limited to 20 to ensure interaction between students and faculty.

The required 37 semester-hour core curriculum is composed of 12 courses and one organizational leadership seminar. The curriculum is integrated in nature, as opposed to a collection of 12 independent courses. The sequentially scheduled courses provide a melding process between classroom education and professional experiences. Students meet one night per week throughout the program. The syllabus distributed in a series of learner guides provides detailed assignments for each week. A minimum overall GPA of 2.0 is required.
