There is a well-recognized need for scientifically and technologically educated managers in the industrial and Research and Development (R & D) communities. The Industrial Management program at Fredonia is designed to serve this need by providing the necessary foundation in applied physics, business, economics, and mathematics. It is similar to many engineering and management programs. The curriculum is structured to prepare students for careers either in industry, governmental facilities or other organizations that address the present and future technological needs of our society. Graduates can also pursue advanced studies at graduate institutions.
The Industrial Management program is an integrated multidisciplinary curriculum combining courses from applied physics (27/29 credit hours), business/economics (24 credit hours), mathematics/computer science (24 credit hours), social sciences/humanities and a sufficient number of supporting elective courses to enhance career objectives. Additionally, the foundation of oral and written communication is developed early in the program and consistently used throughout. A college-approved internship experience is required following the completion of either the sophomore or junior year.
This program is housed in the Department of Physics, but is a distinct program apart from the B.S. in Physics. Therefore, students may double major in Physics and Industrial Management, if they choose to do so. Students are encouraged to see their academic advisor for details.
