 Why Pursue a Degree in Managerial Sciences
at Georgia State University?
As we move toward a more complex and global business environment, managers, consultants, and entrepreneurs must be able to communicate successfully, think creatively, and adapt to the uncertainties of business fluctuations and transformations. The GSU Managerial Sciences degree programs provide students with the skills to meet these challenges. 
 
Curriculum
 We offer a wide variety of courses in many specialized areas, and our flexible curriculum allows students to custom-tailor the Managerial Sciences degree to fit their particular interests and goals. Students in Managerial Sciences develop strong communication and team building skills while working with state of the art information technology. All courses in the program recognize the supply chain concept of the organization – from customer through ultimate supplier.

Corporate Connections
 Within the Managerial Sciences Department, the Herman J. Russell, Sr. International Center for Entrepreneurship and the W.T. Beebe Institute of Personnel and Employment Relations provide exciting learning opportunities for students. The department also has close links with the Atlanta business community. For example, an invitation-only Human Resources Executive Roundtable, sponsored by the department, attracts membership from such prominent companies as Scientific-Atlanta, Georgia Pacific, and BellSouth.  Similarly an invitation-only Society of Entrepreneurs Roundtable serves growth stage entrepreneurs in the local community.
