KU’s management and leadership major equips students with essential skills for effectively managing teams, departments, or entire organizations. Through a blend of theoretical and practical coursework in planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, the program prepares graduates for diverse leadership roles in sectors like banking or nonprofits. It emphasizes interpersonal and communication abilities, allowing students to declare a concentration for focused career interests.The major requires 120 credit hours, including general education courses aligned with the KU Core, such as MATH 115, PSYC 104, and a lab-based natural science. Students complete 20 hours of foundation business classes and 18 hours of core business courses, plus nine hours of specific management classes, nine hours of advanced MGMT courses (400-level and above), and an international business course. The program culminates in a capstone course, MGMT 498: Business Policy & Strategy, where skills are applied to real-world cases. Additionally, students must fulfill the International Dimension Requirement through foreign language proficiency up to intermediate II, study abroad, or relevant international studies courses. This well-rounded education fosters successful management careers and adaptable interpersonal skills.
