The management major is designed for those students who desire to own or manage any size organization, whether public or private, profit or nonprofit. Courses stress the influence of the global environment on decision making and the importance of considering ethical issues from different cultures in making management decisions.

The management major is offered only at University College. The business administration major is the alternative major that is offered at Saint Leo's Centers. Students who are awarded the B.A. in management may not earn the B.A. in business administration with a specialization in management or vice versa.
