Experience Management

The Business, Organizations, and Management major is designed to give students not only a solid grounding in core principles of business, but to do so within a framework that extends beyond traditional pedagogical views for studying and teaching business. Students will rely on a critical managerial perspective for understanding and analyzing the evolving relationships of businesses with local, national, and global constituencies.

Through an executive-in-residence management program, small class sizes of less than 18 students, and hundreds of opportunities to utilize their growing leadership skills, management students have the distinct opportunity to mold their education in the most historically-rich sector of the country.

“I enjoy creating class sessions and environments where students are actively engaged and building critical thinking skills while they learn a new topic... but, my favorite experiences with students are those ‘lightbulb’ moments—where a student sees how the class material is directly relevant to their life, even beyond their academic experience." — Prof. Alice Brawley Newlin

Experiential learning

Management majors at Gettysburg have the option of engaging in their choice of an Immersion Project, an Internship, or a Global Study Experience before the beginning of their senior year.

As part of the Critical Action Learning (CAL) experience, these applied learning experiences give students the chance to apply the knowledge gained from their management major outside the classroom.
