The BSM program culminates in a capstone course, which enables students to integrate the learned skill sets with the management theory. In the capstone course, students examine and analyze leadership performances and strategies that help shape the overall culture and effectiveness of an organization.
The BSM program is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), whose main focus is on teaching excellence. The program is built on the core professional components that are recognized by the ACBSP as necessary for a broad understanding of the business environment. Those components include management, marketing, finance, accounting and business ethics.
