Management | Bachelor of Business Administration: Management (Operations Management)
Operations managers blend their qualitative "people skills" and quantitative business skills to efficiently and effectively create services and products to meet the needs of customers. They connect their organizations to global suppliers and customers across ever more complex value chains. Operations managers translate organizational strategies into appropriate operations tactics, to deliver value to customers through high-quality, low-cost, responsive, and flexible solutions. Key skills include tools and knowledge about quality management, lean systems, change management, project management, and supply-chain management.

Academic Degree Maps are term-by-term sample course plans that specify milestones, courses, and special requirements that are necessary for facilitating on-time completion. Degree Maps are examples and are not prescriptive. Individualized choices such as concentration options, transfer credits, optional minors, advisory programs (certificates), etc. can alter the recommended coursework. Course offerings are subject to change. Students should consult with their academic advisors for additional guidance on course planning.
To determine courses to take in the directed choices (often listed as Program Elective Course) and directed elective course blocks see the overview tab for courses. To locate approved courses in General Education areas (Undergraduate Programs) see the general education section of the catalog.
The undergraduate course maps typically advise the most efficient route for students to complete the general education requirements. Courses that are required in the major may be listed as fulfilling relevant general education requirements. This will result in more open elective course hours in some maps than is listed on the degree overview page.
