To take courses in the Barton School of Business, you must first be admitted to Wichita State.
You don't have to stay on campus for all of your classes.
Braden McCall, a business management minor, took advantage of WSU's Study Abroad Program, spending a semester studying at the ESCE International Business School in Paris, France.
Taking management classes while fully immersed in another culture will give Braden the experience he'll need as he one day pursues a career in mechanical engineering.
The 15-credit-hour minor is available to business majors and non-business majors. To complete it, you'll take three required courses and choose from six additional hours of upper-division operation management courses based on your interests and career goals.
A management degree from Wichita State will prepare you for high-paying careers with multinational companies, banks, joint venture operations, import-export firms, trading companies, federal government and state trade agencies—and anywhere people and key decision-making processes meet.
