Courses
Get the basics on real-world coursework in our online B.S. Management
To earn your Bachelor of Science in Management online, you will need to complete 122 total credit hours of coursework. These hours will include general education courses as well as courses specific to the major program and electives. Finish faster by transferring previously earned credits, which may count toward the 122. Potential transfer credits will be evaluated during the admissions process.
Please note that all 300 and 400 level courses require upper division status.
MISSION: The Liberal Education Program (LEP) at St. Cloud State University is committed to the ideal of liberal education that provides knowledge, skills, and experiences and promotes critical thinking and ethical values for a lifetime of integrative learning in a diverse and changing society.
The Liberal Education Curriculum is organized into ten goals. To complete the curriculum, students must achieve the ten goals through courses or experiences and earn at least 40 credits in liberal education courses. Some goals may be satisfied by experiences other than courses (e.g., approved internship, study abroad, completion of major, or sequence of courses). Some courses may achieve two goals, and experiences may not be credit bearing, so students may complete the goals with fewer than 40 credits. Those students must complete additional liberal education courses to earn the required 40 credits. Liberal Education courses may be double counted as courses required for a major or minor. Courses used in the major may be designated as Liberal Education.
Each student must complete three courses designated as Diversity courses. Students may take no more than one course from any one department. One of the Diversity courses must be an approved Racial Issues Graduation Requirement course (RIGR).
Some additional courses may be required for your major. For more information, please speak with your advisor.
