4. Purpose of the Management (MGMT) Major
The Management Major exposes students to courses in ethics, law, leadership, human resources and vital issues to prepare them for career advancement in business or management careers in a variety of business fields.
The Management major is focused on exposing the student to a variety of areas within the career field of management and business. Students wishing to work within a business dynamic, of any kind, should favor the Management major. Most military members will have military credit that can easily be transferred into the specialization of this major. The leadership and management courses that military members are expose to while on active duty makes the Management major an attractive option. The most marketable aspect of the major is that it is very broad in scope and doesn’t impost limits on the students’ career options.

5. Management (MGMT) Major
The 36 hour major includes a 24-semester hour core and a 12-semester hour specialization.
The core courses are a set list of 8 specific areas.
The 12 hour specialization must be completed from courses in either the Management or Business field of study.
Of the 36 hours required for the major, 18 must be from upper-level courses.
No cognates may be used in this major.
It important to know that even though students have the ability to transfer in outside courses, military or testing credit, they still must meet certain rules concerning the major. Students MUST have at least 18 hours of upper level credit in the major. Student who have numerous transferrable credit hours need to be aware of the rules/restrictions. On occasion, some transferrable credit may not be used because of these restrictions.

6. Management (MGMT) Major Requirements:
MAJOR CORE COURSES:
BUAD 3318 – Business Law
BUAD 4334 – Business Ethics
DANTES- Ethics in America will substitute but does not full fill upper-level requirement, list as PHIL on the degree plan
MGMT 3304 – Principles of Management
CLEP – Principles of Management will substitute but does not fulfill upper-level requirement, list as MGMT2304 on the degree plan.

Students who need RSWR 3345 for a degree requirement should take it as soon as feasible in the students’ enrollment with Wayland, based on prerequisite being met. This requirement moves from RSWR 3345 to an imaginative literature course, like ENGL3303, if the second half of English they have does not have a literature component.
Plus Twelve (12) hours of Management or Business electives
HLAD courses can not be used as business electives
This is the list of the required courses within the major. This is not an exhausted list of the possible transferrable CLEP/DANTES test or military credit that can be applied to the major.

7. Management (MGMT) Major Requirements:
Here is an example of the major as it appears on the degree plan.

8. 12-Hour MGMT Specialization
The Management specialization is built around 12 hours of either management or business classes.
Wayland accepts courses from a wide variety of sources including Community College of the Air Force, technical and vocational schools, computer schools, and business colleges, which are regionally accredited. Nationally accredited schools must meet Wayland’s criteria to be considered.
LMM courses from CCAF – 7000 and 9000 credit can be used for Management credit. Other military management courses can also be accepted for credit.
Military business courses may also be considered for approved business courses.
Management courses may be evaluated by referring to course prefix, title and description. If unable to determine whether the course is management by the description, send the description to the Office of BAS/BCM Records.
Students do not have to transfer in the 12 hours of a specialization if your campus teaches the 12 hours for the field of management or business.
Most military members who have served a minimum of 7 years will have applicable management credit to apply to their specialization. Depending on their career field, many military members will have at least the 12 credit hours to satisfy the degree requirement for their specialization. However, if a student does not have enough military credit or has no transferrable credit at all, the student will still be able to satisfy the specialization with University courses. If an External Campus does not offer enough varied management / business courses, the student may have to take an online course.

9. 24-Hour MGMT Professional Development:
The professional development component consists of 24 semester hours selected to provide depth or breadth to the major and to provide substantive developmental knowledge for the student’s career or personal goals.
Here is an example of the Professional Development portion as it appears on the degree plan.

10. Management (MGMT) Major Substitute Courses:

LMM 2121 Leadership and Management II (CCAF)
This is an example of the commonly transferred CLEP / military credit.

For an in depth look at the acceptable CLEP/DANTES examinations accepted by Wayland please refer to the CLEP & DANTES score sheets available from the BAS/BCM office. If you have a specific question about a military or college level course, always ask your evaluator for their opinion.

 Transferring in Lower Level credit hours and not adjusting the number of required Upper Level credit hours.
Transferring in courses from another institution that have not been approved through the University’s courses evaluated or by the evaluator.
Allowing students to take courses without the proper prerequisite or in an incorrect order.
Not advising students of the proper sequence in their class rotation. (i.e. Taking RSWR 3345 at the beginning of their degree)
This is a list of some common mistakes made by the advisor and the student.
