The Army operates in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous global environment. More than ever, the nation needs leaders with knowledge of proven managerial skills to help the Army succeed. Majors can choose from three tracks.

Management is arguably one of the most applicable majors for future Army officers. Graduates gain specialized skills and knowledge related to managing both human and physical resources, making them uniquely prepared to understand and ultimately lead people. The management major is designed to help prepare you to lead efficient and effective organizations by developing critical managerial skills.  Management majors study a wide range of traditional organizational topics such as accounting, finance, human resource management, marketing, operations, strategy, negotiations, leading teams, and entrepreneurship.
