Business with a liberal arts spin in Florida
From global corporations to the local coffee shop to your favorite museum, every organization depends on its people. The Management major teaches the range of skills needed to successfully manage an organization, such as how to inspire and motivate employees, how to deploy analytics to assist in decision making, and how to generate creative solutions to address complex issues.
Management is easily tailored to your interests, thanks to our wide range of electives. Whether you’re aiming to start your own business, run a nonprofit, or sharpen your creative thinking and leadership skills, this major allows for great flexibility.

In Their Own Words
The more personalized attention at Eckerd was exactly what I needed. The Management faculty were all very approachable and helpful, but you had to put in the time to also get the most out of what was offered. All of the staff also had stories and experiences they could share of their time working outside of academia.
