As a Business Management major at JMU, you’ll learn how to lead teams, manage projects and make decisions within organizations.
Management attracts students who enjoy guiding projects but are people oriented. They are often strong communicators and team players who are adaptable, comfortable leading others and able to think strategically when making decisions.
The program prepares you to work across a range of business settings in areas like consulting, project management, human resources and operations, where you’ll navigate shifting priorities and keep work moving forward.
What you’ll gain:
- The ability to lead teams, manage projects and navigate organizational challenges
- Experience analyzing business situations and making decisions with incomplete or evolving information
- Exposure to different areas of business through concentrations like consulting, human resources and entrepreneurship
- A human resource management concentration aligned with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), allowing you to pursue certification without the typical two years of required work experience.
"Every step of my journey as a management major at JMU has shaped me into the person I am today. The guidance I received from dedicated faculty was pivotal to my success, and I am proud to now serve in a role in internal audit at KPMG."
Gracie Murphy ('24), Associate Internal Auditor, KPMG
