DEGREE
The hallmark of the Bachelor of Science in Management (BSM) is its flexibility
in mixing a variety of disciplines while providing the structure and guidance
necessary for a successful undergraduate experience. By design, the BSM
program emphasizes a generalist approach to management education. The
program's goal is to train well-rounded managers who can analyze problems and
propose workable solutions.
Students admitted to the program should complete all 100- and 200-level courses
prior to concentrating on their business majors, which consist primarily of 300-
and 400-level courses. BSM students should consult with their academic adviser
and A.B. Freeman School BSM Academic Coordinator at least once a semester,
usually just before registration, to ensure that they are meeting all requirements
for graduation and for their majors. Although every effort is made to ensure
accurate advising, the student is responsible for knowing and satisfying all degree
requirements. Additional information can be found online at
