Management
Managers work with other organization members and resources to achieve organizational goals as effectively and efficiently as possible. Throughout your management career, you will work to achieve these goals through the four basic management functions of planning, organizing, influencing and measuring performance. Skilled managers are in high demand, as every industry and organization needs managers to fulfill their goals.

My professors did not treat me as if I was another face in the crowd; the University had a very intimate and compassionate culture which I feel bigger schools lack. Saint Xavier really wants their students to do well, not just in school but in life. They are constantly offering scholarships, internships and career opportunities. They offer students help with their resume as well as tutoring opportunities.
