The General Management concentration provides an avenue for the pursuit of cross-disciplinary studies of management, in the context of an integrated and rigorous curriculum.

Students choose to concentrate in this area for many reasons but it is especially attractive to those students who desire to pursue a cross-disciplinary approach to management or who are preparing for the management of a family business.
