You'll continue with your core curriculum, and also start your business courses. You'll take two accounting, two economics courses, as well as a business law and a computer information systems courses.

Management students may also take foundations of management early in their third year. Many students engage MCCB internships during this year.
Your senior year is typically when you take your higher level major courses. This is the time most management majors are also taking concentration-specific courses which consist of four courses and one management-specific elective.
