Bachelor's degree in management

The Department of Management at the University of Nevada, Reno offers two tracks of emphasis: human resources and general management. Each of these emphases require the completion of different courses.

This minor is designed to train students to be effective managers of human capital through the use of training, internal procedures, compensation, staffing, and more. As workplaces and society evolve and change, human resources management is becoming an increasingly complex field that is in demand for employers.

This minor program is for non-College of Business Administration students only who desire a background in general business to complement their own major program.

The number of students pursuing a minor in business administration at the University of Nevada, Reno has been climbing rapidly in recent years, and for good reason. More students are realizing that with the option of a business minor, they can major in their principal academic interest, but also gain real business knowledge that makes them attractive to employers. Moreover, a student with a business administration minor has the real business knowledge that can help inform their decisions—for example, a student with a B.S. in electrical engineering who also earns a minor in business administration has the real skills necessary to not only succeed in designing electrical infrastructure, but also manage the company.

The MBA program is designed for individuals who have completed a baccalaureate degree in any field and who have at least two years of professional experience in a business, government, or non-profit organization. The MBA program generally can be completed by most students in three years or less of evening study.

This program has been designed to promote understanding of the basic tools and techniques needed to manage effectively and efficiently in the changing global marketplace.
