MISSION STATEMENT
Kettering University's undergraduate Management Program serves society by graduating students who understand the
total business environment; who possess a broad range of technical and interpersonal skills; who effectively deal inside
and outside the organization, and across national boundaries; and who, through their work-study program, have had
real-world experiences in industrial or service organizations. Thus, the program imparts knowledge, tools, skills and
attitudes that create productive employees and managerial leaders.
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Kettering University's undergraduate Management Program has a dual focus: to provide students with entry-level business knowledge and
skills; and to enable students to be successful in on-the-job assignments through comprehensive studies in business disciplines.
The curriculum provides a state-of-the-art approach to business problem solving, with an emphasis on computer capability. Presently, five
concentrations are offered in the business area: Accounting/Finance, General Business, Information Systems, Manufacturing Management,
and Marketing, each leading to a Bachelor of Science in Management degree.
The curriculum allows for students outside the business program to earn a management minor. This minor provides students with a strong
base in the functional areas of business. It is also a prerequisite for the Engineering Management Master of Science Degree Program offered
at Kettering University and in many cases serves as prerequisites for traditional MBA programs.
PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The Management Program Faculty have established the following Program Educational Objectives.
• Students graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Management will have a broad knowledge and understanding
of business fundamentals so that they are academically prepared for a business career; compare favorably when

advancing themselves within an organization.
• Graduating undergraduate students will have the positive perspectives and skills that create productive employees
and managerial leaders.
• The undergraduate Management Program Faculty will demonstrate teaching effectiveness by using appropriate
educational and learning techniques in the classroom.
