ManagementMajors & Minor

Our mission in Management is to help all Gustavus Students with the ROI of their college education. In addition to a vibrant, flexible, experiential major, we offer tracks to help students dig deeper into their own passions and interests. A minor in Management augments any major to help equip students to enter the world with confidence. Our primary tracks include:

 Organizational Leadership - Understanding behavior, conflict, operations and human capital

 Global Leadership - Focused on the international inter-connectedness of corporations

 Marketing - Emphasis on digital marketing and the importance of research and data

 Entrepreneurial Studies - Learn what it takes to run a business 

Our goal is to help equip all Gustavus students, no matter their major, to contribute to the economy by providing them with access to courses that help connect their passion/major with vocations that will benefit from hiring a liberal arts graduate.
