Management
About us
The Management B.S. degree offered at UW-La Crosse prepares students for a challenging career in for-profit and non-profit organizations. Working with a highly-trained and specialized group of faculty and staff, many of our students are well prepared in their mastery of technical business management as well as in their communication skills, their ability to work with others, their willingness to accept leadership responsibilities, and their respect for human differences.
The management program is carefully structured to meet the requirements of AACSB International of which UW-La Crosse is an accredited member. Approximately 25% of the schools of business in the U.S. hold this accreditation.
