If the term management interests you, you ultimately see yourself as a leader of an organization. Whether you are called “boss,” “CEO,” “department head,” “branch manager,” or “administrator,” your tasks are to plan and control the major functions of the association. The goals of a manager are to maximize the potential of resources and employees. Managers may find themselves in manufacturing, retail, education, international business, or even agriculture. The areas of focus at the University of Connecticut for undergraduate study are in the fields of general management, entrepreneurship and new venture management, and international business. A master’s degree in Business Administration furthers the possibility for advancement on the executive ladder.
