Program overview

What the University of Notre Dame says about their program:

The management program prepares students to lead people and processes within both large and small organizations or to advise organizations on those management issues. A particular emphasis is placed on managing within organizations facing the challenges of rapid change and increased competition. The major is designed to provide sufficient flexibility for students to prepare for several career paths by teaching students to think systematically about the processes through which organizations achieve excellence. In addition to opportunities outside Mendoza, interested students may pursue a double major combining Strategic Management with Accountancy, Business Analytics, Finance, or Marketing. S
