Management Emphasis

Management Emphasis

Organizations of all sizes and types need skilled managers. The UCCS Management program provides a foundation for careers in management, human resource management, small business management and entrepreneurship, and public agency management. 

The Management emphasis trains students to become skilled managers who know how to lead and motivate people, build high-performance teams, and develop world-class organizations. Additionally, the program addresses contemporary issues in management and the changing roles of managers and leaders at all levels of the organization.

Each candidate for the Bachelor of Science-Business degree in the Professional Program must complete the prescribed courses in an area of emphasis comprising a minimum of 18 - 24 semester hours taken at UCCS in addition to the required courses in the Business degree.

To earn a professional area of emphasis, a grade point average of 2.5 is required for the area of emphasis courses, with no grade below a C-; a 2.5 cumulative GPA is required for all business courses; and a 2.0 GPA is required overall. Students who graduate with an area of emphasis and/or business grade point averages from 2.0 to 2.49 will not earn an area of emphasis. All attempts of emphasis courses will be calculated into a student's GPA.

By completing extra courses, a student can earn a second area of emphasis. To earn a double area of emphasis, a student must fulfill all the requirements for both areas. If there are not at least 15 hours of unique courses in the areas, then the student cannot earn a double area of emphasis.
