Management

If you aspire to lead others and enjoy teamwork, problem solving, and organization, you may find your fit in Belmont’s Management program! A wide variety of career opportunities exist for people with a background in management, including positions in human resources, healthcare, banking, retail, technology, manufacturing, and nonprofit organizations. No matter the field, the Management major allows our students to take the theory learned in the classroom and directly apply their knowledge to various organizations and teams. Many of our upper-level courses in management involve projects where students work with businesses in the Nashville area, and students gain valuable leadership experience by participating in our business student organizations.

The management major also allows students to specialize in human resources management by taking three courses specific to the field. The Jack C. Massey College of Business encourages students to participate in the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), which is the world’s largest association devoted to human resource management. An internship in human resources will also complement students’ classroom learning and provide them with firsthand experience employers value highly in new hires.

With more than 250 healthcare-related enterprises headquartered in or around the metropolitan area, Nashville is known as the “healthcare capital of the country.” As healthcare grows in scope, innovative technologies, advances in basic research, and new concepts in healthcare financing and delivery serve to make this an increasingly complex industry. Therefore, it is easy to see why more health-related companies look for well-trained employees to manage and supervise the services they offer. Students in the management major can take specialized courses in healthcare management and are encouraged to intern with healthcare companies..
