Management
Every organization depends on the efforts of groups of individuals to get things done. Any time you have two or more people working together to achieve a common goal, you need somebody to manage the process. That somebody could be you!

Why should I choose this program?
Successful managers are leaders who motivate and guide people to efficiently and effectively use organizational resources (people, money, raw materials, and equipment) to guide their organizations to become the best that they can be. Being the “best” can mean being the most profitable, ethical, humane, environmentally aware, or socially responsible – whatever is the most important to the organization's stakeholders.
Management is needed in all organizations. This includes businesses, non-profit organizations, governmental units, hospitals, schools/colleges, clubs, et al. If you like the challenge of being in charge and the idea of helping organizations and the individuals who work for them reach their goals, management may just be the career for you!
