Undergraduate Information
The Major
Management focuses on the human side of business and emphasizes people skills and an ability to work across all areas of business. Management entails continually engaging in setting goals for the unit in alignment with the broader organizational context, seeking and mobilizing organizational resources, leading and motivating employees, and monitoring outcomes to achieve these goals.
Students seeking to major in Management have three pathways: major in Management, and options to specialize in either Entrepreneurship or Human Resource Management. All paths give students the opportunity to develop essential managerial skills and competencies including leadership and strategic and ethical thinking through innovative coursework and internship experience.
The Management pathway provides a broad overview of the managerial and leadership functions within organizations. In addition to honing critical managerial skills, students who choose this option have the opportunity to take introductory courses in entrepreneurship, human resource management, and international management, with the ability to take elective courses offered in management. This track is especially ideal for students who aspire for managerial and leadership positions within a range of organizations in various industries.
The Entrepreneurship specialization provides an understanding of the entrepreneurial process, with a focus on developing an entrepreneurial mindset. The program conceptually and experientially exposes students to various facets of entrepreneurship, such as opportunity recognition and evaluation, and business model design and development. Students in this specialization have the opportunity to take their elective coursework in the following areas: social entrepreneurship, international entrepreneurship, family business management, franchising, and creativity and innovation. This specialization is not only ideal for students who aspire to start their own ventures, but also for those who desire to succeed in managerial careers in entrepreneurial organizations.
The Human Resource Management specialization exposes students to the various human resource management functions performed by managers and human resource professionals. In addition to learning about selection and compensation, students have the opportunity to take elective coursework in the following areas: performance management, legal issues in managing employees, HR analytics, international HR, and diversity issues in organizations. This specialization is ideal for students who are interested in managerial careers or careers within the field of human resources.
Retention Policy
The Fowler College of Business expects that all business students will make reasonable academic progress towards the degree. Business premajors who have earned 60 units but have less than a 2.9 may be removed from the premajors and placed in undeclared. Upper division business majors earning less than a 2.0 average in their major GPA for two consecutive semesters may be removed from business and placed in undeclared.
Transfer Credit
Lower Division: Courses clearly equivalent in scope and content to San Diego State University courses required for minors or as preparation for all business majors will be accepted from regionally accredited United States institutions and from foreign institutions recognized by San Diego State University and the Fowler College of Business.
Upper Division: It is the policy of the San Diego State University Fowler College of Business to accept upper division transfer credits where (a) the course content, requirements, and level are equivalent to San Diego State University courses and (b) where the course was taught in an AACSB International-The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business accredited program. Exceptions require thorough documentation evidencing the above standards.
Impacted Program
The management major is impacted. Before enrolling in any upper division courses in business administration, students must advance to an upper division business major and obtain a business major code. To be admitted to an upper division business major (accounting, finance, financial services, real estate, information systems, management, or marketing), students must meet the following criteria:
- Complete with a grade of C (2.0) or better: ACCTG 201 , ACCTG 202 ; ECON 101 , ECON 102 ; FIN 240 (or an approved business law course); MIS 180 ; MATH 120 (or an approved calculus course or an approved three-unit finite mathematics course); RWS 290 (RWS 290 is not required for the accounting major); and either STAT 119 or ECON 201 . These courses cannot be taken for credit/no credit (Cr/ NC);
- Complete a minimum of 60 transferable semester units;
- Have a cumulative GPA of 2.9.
Students who meet all requirements except the GPA may request to be placed on the waiting list. While all spaces are usually filled by eligible students, if there is room in the program after all the fully-qualified students have been accommodated, students will be admitted from the waiting list in GPA order. Contact the Fowler Center for Student Success, 619-594-5828, for more information.
To complete the major, students must fulfill the degree requirements for the major described in the catalog in effect at the time they are accepted into the premajor at SDSU (assuming continuous enrollment).
Major Academic Plans (MAPs)
Visit http://www.sdsu.edu/mymap for the recommended courses needed to fulfill your major requirements. The MAPs website was created to help students navigate the course requirements for their majors and to identify which General Education course will also fulfill a major preparation course requirement.
Graduate Information
General Information
The objective of the Master of Science degree in global busi- ness development is to prepare students to start or accelerate careers related to international business development across a wide variety of sectors. As economies continue to be integrated via trade, investment, and advanced technology, an increasing number of companies seek qualified global professionals. They seek culturally intelligent individuals capable of employing data- driven and relationship approaches to growing international sales and global business opportunities. The program is designed to provide graduates with the analytical skills, entrepreneurial perspectives, and cross-cultural competencies needed to successfully engage in sales and business development in a global context. Upon completion of the program, students should be competent in leading efforts either in established organizations or in their own ventures-to identify, analyze, assess, and pursue international sales and business opportunities for both U.S. and foreign companies.
