Department of Management
(Wilson College of Business)
The Department of Management offers the following programs:
- Business Analytics
- Human Resource Management
- Management
- Management Information Systems
- Supply Chain Management
Note: Students majoring in Management, Management Information Systems (MIS) and Supply Chain Management must satisfy the Wilson College of Business admission requirements before they can officially declare their major. A copy of the Admission, Retention, and Graduation Policy may be obtained from UNIBusiness Advising in the Wilson College of Business or at https://business.uni.edu/students/advising/uni-college-business-policies.
Prior to completion of the admission requirements, students may sign an intent to major in one of these areas and be classified as a prospective (pre)major. Pre-Management or Pre-MIS majors may enroll in lower division (below 3000-level) business courses only. Enrollment in upper division (3000/4000-level) business courses requires satisfactory completion of the Wilson College of Business admission requirements and any course prerequisites.
Management, MIS and Supply Chain Management majors may declare a double major and/or major and minor within the Wilson College of Business, subject to regulations imposed by those Wilson College of Business departments affected. Management, MIS and Supply Chain Management majors minoring within the Wilson College of Business must select minors designated for business majors. Management majors may not minor in Organizational Leadership. No more than one emphasis area may be declared in Management.
All students majoring in business must complete 50% of their major coursework in the Wilson College of Business at UNI. Major coursework would include any undergraduate, credit-bearing, graded course taught in the Wilson College of Business at UNI. Business courses taken at UNI as credit/no credit do not qualify. A minimum of 10 credits must be upper division (3000-4000 level courses). A student must earn a 2.20 cumulative grade point average at UNI; and earn an overall 2.20 grade point average in ACCT xxxx, MKTG xxxx, MGMT xxxx, FIN xxxx, and ECON xxxx courses taken at UNI. Students given permission to graduate out-of-residence must earn a 2.20 or better in all courses approved and accepted for out-of-residence credit.
The Wilson College of Business limits the number of courses that can be counted towards major specific requirements across the College. The College will allow students to double count one major specific course between majors, with the following exceptions. These exceptions include major combinations which allow two double-counted courses:
- MIS/Business Analytics
- Real Estate/Finance: Financial Management or Investments
- Business Analytics/Economics: Business Economics
This guideline is not applicable to the business core. There are no limitations to the number of courses that can be double-counted towards minors and/or certificates within the College.
The Management Department may impose additional admission requirements for students wishing to declare a minor or a second Wilson College of Business major. Eligibility to declare a minor or a second Wilson College of Business major is based on competitive GPA and space availability. Students may obtain a copy of these requirements from UNIBusiness Advising (CBB 5) in the Wilson College of Business.
