Studies lead to the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (B.S.B.A.) degree with a concentration in management.

Program Overview
The management concentration at Robert Morris University features a balanced blend of professional application and intellectual knowledge, with a curriculum designed to respond to the everchanging needs of business. Students receive an education that is focused in business and enhanced by general studies. This multidisciplinary approach provides a solid foundation in business theory and practice while including classes to complement individual interests and backgrounds.

Classroom experiences are augmented by opportunities to participate in internship programs and to study abroad through one of several international programs. The management faculty encourages students to pursue industry-specific and career-specific work through supervised independent study projects. Graduates of the program pursue professional positions in both the public and private sectors. While some students secure positions with major corporations and businesses, many choose to work in small business and entrepreneurial settings.
