The Department of Management offers two options (areas of emphasis) within the Bachelor of Science in the Business Administration degree program.
The Human Resource Management Option is one of only 57 programs nationally -- and the only program in the California State University system -- that has been certified by the Association of University and College Industrial Relations and Human Resource programs. The program is consistently ranked in the top five nationally. This ranking is based on the number of students who pass the Society of Human Resource Management's "Professional in Human Resource" certification exam.
The option focuses upon the people who work in organizations. Consideration is given to personnel administration, labor relations and collective bargaining, employee compensation, and government legislation dealing with employees. The courses offered in this area will be of interest to those who wish to specialize in personnel work and to other students who wish to strengthen their understanding of people in organizations.
The Management Option provides students with an opportunity to acquire skills and knowledge necessary for managing groups and organizations. Emphasis is given to development of skills in planning, organizing, leading and controlling, as well as the conceptual and analytical abilities which underlie the key managerial activities. Students may take electives in human relations, social issues, corporate/international issues, decision techniques, and special management applications.
Faculty and Facilities
The faculty of the Department of Management is comprised of individuals who have studied and pursued business careers throughout the world. Well over a dozen specializations within the field of business administration are taught, researched, and shared with the business community by these professors. Case studies, experiential exercises, computer simulations, laboratory research, business community projects, guest speakers, and seminar discussions are just a few of the ways in which instructors provide the students with a "real-world" exposure to business. The combination of faculty expertise, teaching skills, research activities, and business experiences assures the student of receiving the best education possible in management.
Internships
Many of our students also participate in internship programs, both in
Fresno and in other parts of California. During an internship, students
receive academic credit while being paid for their services. Students interested
in internships in human resource management or management should contact
the internship coordinator in Peters Building, Room 185.
