STUDYING MANAGEMENT AT EDINBORO UNIVERSITY
The study of management is the study of how to deploy resources so as to meet the company's or organization's objectives. In short, the study of management is the study of how to use a firm's employees, equipment, production processes and capital to help the company grow and make a profit. (Even government and not-for-profit organizations have to grow and earn money!)
In Edinboro University's Comprehensive Business Administration program, students tailor a course of study to prepare them to become a business resource manager. Students delve into the anchor functions of business (operations, marketing, finance) to learn how an organization works and how it satisfies its customers and makes a profit. They also study business law and information resources management, and practice the functionally integrated decision-making common in business today.
The flexibility of Edinboro's program allows the student to focus on the resource(s) and/or function(s) of his/her choice.
A broad choice of courses and a large number of electives allow the student to specialize in his/her chosen field, or to explore additional areas of business. Free Electives can be used for internships, additional business and economics courses, and/or virtually any other course the university offers.
