MSOE's Rader School of Business will offer a new business degree in Fall 2009. The Bachelor of Science in Business Management will prepare individuals to lead people, process and technology. The program responds to the demands of businesses that need people who can use technology, work together creatively and think innovatively.
The new business management program capitalizes on MSOE's long history of combining theory and practice, along with 50 years of experience providing technology-rich business education. Students learn core business concepts and put them into practice by solving today's business problems in "real-world" project experiences. Specialized areas of study in the new program include: marketing and entrepreneurship, managerial leadership, operations management, financial management and engineering studies.
According to Dr. Steven C. Bialek, chairman of MSOE's Rader School of Business, "Our new business management program prepares students for the versatility they need in today's workplace driven by technology, globalization and innovation. The new program will replace our two separate programs in business and management that for many years emphasized depth of preparation in a focused discipline."
Students entering the program from high school are accepted as business management majors as freshmen. In addition to studying a wide range of business management subjects, the program requires students to participate in a professional internship. Students work at companies such as Apexx Marketing, Assurant Health, Aurora Health, Brady Corp., Direct Supply, Harley-Davidson (production and museum), GE Healthcare, Johnson Controls, Metavante, Rockwell Automation and Stark Investments.
MSOE's Rader School of Business is the difference in business education. Classes are small, which encourages interaction and networking. Professors bring solid industry experience into the classroom, along with a passion for teaching. What is taught in the classroom can be applied immediately to the workplace. An uncompromising approach to quality provides a meaningful education that carries value well beyond graduation. Individuals with an MSOE degree are highly sought by employers around the world.
The degree is available to traditional full-time undergraduate students, and flexible plans of study also are available for working professionals. For those with an associate degree, the transfer plan grants junior standing to qualified individuals. Courses in the program can be completed on a part-time or full-time basis. Classes may be taken during the day or evening, with several options for Internet-hybrid study available each academic term. In addition, classes meet at convenient locations in Waukesha, Neenah and MSOE's main campus in Milwaukee.
