Business with a liberal arts spin in Florida
From multinational corporations to the corner coffee shop, every business depends on its people. The Management major teaches the people skills of inspiring and motivating employees, as well as the analytical skills and tools for decision making all managers need.
Small classes mean your professors will know you personally, which will come in handy when it’s time to look for an internship.

Choose your own focus
Management is easily tailored to your interests, thanks to electives. Whether you’re aiming to start your own business or run a nonprofit, or you want to do an internship for course credit, this major allows for great flexibility.
Get started sooner
While some schools make their Management majors wait until their last two years to take Management courses, Eckerd College gets you started right away.
We mean business
All entrepreneurship minors have an opportunity to create real businesses on campus as part of the Entrepreneurial Experience Lab.
In Their Own Words
The more personalized attention at Eckerd was exactly what I needed. The Management faculty were all very approachable and helpful, but you had to put in the time to also get the most out of what was offered. All of the staff also had stories and experiences they could share of their time working outside of academia.
