Business Adminstration: Industrial Management
Manufacturing facilities across the east Tennessee area provide vital products and thousands of jobs, making these facilities an important part of our local and national economies.
In collaboration with DENSO Manufacturing in Athens, Tennessee, the industrial management
emphasis prepares students to hold management-level positions in the manufacturing
industry.
In addition to the business administration core requirements, the emphasis in industrial
management provides students with additional knowledge in areas such as logistics,
supply chain management and international management.
The industrial management emphasis was developed as a result of a need identified by DENSO Manufacturing, a large local manufacturer. The degree provides training and preparation for manufacturing careers.
Degrees within the Goodfriend School of Business, including the industrial management
emphasis, provide numerous opportunities to connect with seasoned business professionals,
both faculty members and business partners who take a direct interest in the development
of our students.
Industrial management students have the opportunity to develop other business skills
by combining their specific management education with other emphases such as human
resource management or accounting, or even adding a minor in entrepreneurship.
The MBA 4+1 is an early MBA admissions program. Qualifying seniors can enroll in MBA courses while completing their undergraduate degree. MBA courses can count toward full-time status and scholarship eligibility.
