General Management B.S.B.Curtis L. Carlson School of Management - Adm
Curtis L. Carlson School of Management
The general management major is intended for students who wish to develop an area of expertise outside of the major programs offered by the Carlson School. Students who pursue this major should have a particular career goal or objective in mind that can be best addressed through a self-designed program of study.
The Carlson School Honors program offers students access to a richer undergraduate experience. Honors students have closer contact with their professors. They work in smaller classes and they put their skills to work for the benefit of the community. The program requires hard work and a strong commitment to learning.
