Management

Well-rounded, critical thinking managers are key to the success of any business, regardless of size or industry. At the Barney School, we prepare students to become business leaders equipped with the necessary academic and experiential training to bring a keen knowledge of people, teams, and organization to any company. Through a comprehensive degree program that tackles the fundamental principles of organizations, the nature and capabilities of people, how to function well in a team, and the methods involved in analyzing and solving managerial problems, our graduates leave ready to lead marketing, human resources, finance, sales, and other departments in for-profit and nonprofit businesses. And, with the number of management jobs expected to increase by 8 percent in the next few years, the opportunities in this diverse field are only growing!

Sean Cooney ’22 graduated from the Barney School of Business with a degree in management and a minor in marketing. He has moved to the state of Washington to work in Amazon’s retail undergraduate program. He was hired before graduation and believes his time at UHart provided real-life experience in preparation for the workforce. The curriculum in the classroom, blended with experiential learning and internships, set Cooney up for success with Amazon.

UHart prepared me to achieve my career goals by always connecting class concepts to the real world. Barney’s Explore & Plan Career Options class was critical to my development. Getting experience with mock interviews and résumé building helped me be more confident and also taught me how to think critically in a real workplace environment.”
