The Management Department has a thriving undergraduate program that focuses broadly on the management of change, and also contributes to a highly reputed MBA program at the Isenberg School. In addition, the department offers two high-quality Ph.D. programs in Organization Studies and Strategic Management. The members of the Management faculty are committed to conducting research that furthers state-of-the-art knowledge in their respective areas of expertise.
