General Management

Willamette's Early Career MBA develops a comprehensive and integrated understanding of general management. The program provides:
* a strong foundation in the fundamental principles of management; the basics needed to succeed in any management position
* an integrated understanding of the functions of management
* professional, communication, leadership, team and career management skills
* in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience, and
* elective courses that support individual career goals

Students seeking their first professional position or career change will generally find it most helpful to combine the knowledge and tools of general management developed in the required curriculum of the Willamette Early Career MBA with elective courses that provide in-depth knowledge in one or more functional areas of interest.
