A major in Management and Leadership consists of 27 hours of management courses. All Management and Leadership majors must have 50 percent of the required management and leadership courses in residence at Middle Tennessee State University.

Students interested in careers in management and leadership will complete a core of classes in leadership skills, human resources management, organization behavior, managing key performance indicators, and ethical leadership as a foundation for the major. Students may choose from among a list of electives to gain skills in the areas of leading change/innovation, leading organizations/teams, global mindset, and decision making/problem solving.

The program below includes a Business Administration minor. An alternate business minor may be chosen, but it may require total hours for graduation to exceed 120.

Accelerated Bachelors/Masters (ABM) Program

High achieving students majoring in Management and Leadership who intend to pursue a master’s degree in Management (M.S.) or Business Administration (M.B.A.) may apply to participate in the Accelerated Bachelors/Masters (ABM) pathway. The pathway allows undergraduate students an opportunity to complete select requirements for both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees simultaneously. Upon successful completion of the ABM pathway, students must submit an application (including application fee) to the graduate program. Additional application requirements will be waived, and the student will be admitted to the program automatically. For more information about the ABM pathway, see the Graduate Catalog.
