Mission Statement

The department’s mission is consonant with and supportive of the College of Business Administration mission statement. With its special emphases on teaching undergraduates and focusing on applied research and instructional development, the MHR Department also seeks prominence within domestic and international communities in teaching and life-long learning.

The teaching strengths of the department’s faculty, which are embedded in the courses, include the capacity for critical thinking, skills for working with people, ability to respond creatively to changes, making ethical choices, managing diversity, strategic management, and applying the theories and concepts learned to design practical and innovative solutions. These strengths address leading-edge knowledge and education.

This subplan provides students with the opportunity to pursue an emphasis in one of several areas: management, entrepreneurship and small business management, human resources management and not-for-profit management.

Department advisors strive to provide programs that meet the educational needs of students who have the following career goals:

1. Manager in a private or public organization of any size.
2. Manager of a small or medium-sized business. (This program is designed specifically for people who plan to own and operate their own businesses.)
3. Human resources or personnel manager in a private or public organization.
4. Manager of a not-for-profit organization.

All department programs are designed to provide maximum flexibility in selecting an area of specialty. For example, a freshman can pursue the department curriculum for two years before making a career goal decision. In fact, after two years of study, the student can change to any of the business administration subplans without loss of academic credits. It is important that students entering Cal Poly Pomona for the first time seek the help of an advisor to ensure that their individual programs are in their own best interest.
