Management Overview

Management is at the heart of every successful business and organization. As a management major at USI, you’ll learn how to set goals, allocate resources, lead people, and drive organizational success. You’ll build skills in leadership, motivation, teamwork, and decision-making while mastering how to manage human, financial, physical, and information resources effectively.

Our AACSB-accredited program allows you to tailor your studies to your career goals by choosing from three paths: general management, human resource management, or innovation management. Along the way, you’ll gain real-world experience through class projects with local businesses, business and management simulations, and high-impact learning opportunities that prepare you for leadership in today’s dynamic workplace.

With small class sizes and faculty who are dedicated to your success, you’ll benefit from personalized guidance and mentorship both in and out of the classroom. A degree in management from USI equips you with the skills and confidence to lead organizations and teams in nearly every industry.

The Romain College of Business has earned accreditation from AACSB, which is considered the "gold standard" for business accreditation. Only 5.7% of business schools, globally, have earned that accreditation. Achieving accreditation is a multi-year process of rigorous internal focus, engagement with an AACSB-assigned mentor and peer-reviewed evaluation. Schools must develop and implement a plan to align with accreditation standards. These standards require excellence in areas relating to strategic management and innovation; student, faculty, and staff as active participants; learning and teaching; and academic and professional engagement.

Alexa Bueltel, Management '16 -- Talent Acquisition Specialist at Faegre Drinker

"I enjoyed my time at USI, and the Romain College of Business played an integral part in my experience. From the small class sizes to the fantastic professors, I could not have asked for a better academic program. I definitely felt very supported in the classroom, and it helped set me up for success in my career. I wouldn't be where I am today without the foundation the Romain College of Business gave me."

Justin Norris '20 -- Telecom & VoIP Operations Lead at CenterPoint Energy

"Take any opportunity you can to get internships or other positions to get you closer to your end goal. Often, that experience and the connections made from it will be as valuable or more than your degree. Also, don't be afraid to make mistakes and learn from them - one who does more and learns from it is more valuable than one who does nothing at all."

Kennedy Williams '23 -- North American Ordering Analyst at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana

"I chose a major in Management because I knew it would be beneficial to me, no matter the career I chose. A Management major would show future employers that I have a diverse background and skills in business, but I can also be a leader in the workplace."
