Management is a necessary activity in every organization – regardless of the company’s size, scope, or purpose. Managers are responsible for setting the organization’s objectives and leading people as they interface with stakeholders, systems, and equipment to achieve those goals productively and ethically. While these basic functions of management have not changed, the growth of the global economy, technological transformation, and diversity in the work place are changing how organizations operate. Preparing students to be successful managers in these dynamic times is the Management faculty’s purpose.

At Ramapo College, Management students receive an in-depth and comprehensive exposure to management functions, roles, and responsibilities. That exposure is grounded in academic tradition, includes contemporary case analysis and active learning, and builds central practitioner competencies and qualities. Students are rigorously prepared for promising careers in different industries, in private and public sectors, and for advanced academic education. The educational goals and objectives of the Management Program are infused throughout its curriculum, furthered by a dedicated faculty with broad academic and practitioner experience.
