The use of modern information technologies in the business environment is also part of the curriculum. Courses such as “Management and Organizational Behavior” and “Advanced Managerial Economics” teach management skills. The final course in Management, “Strategic Management and Policy Formation,” is held during a three-week visit to the campus of the University of West Florida, in Pensacola and serves as a capstone for the entire program of study.
