Mission Statement
CSUN Management Department: One Vision/Three Passions
Our Passions: People. Principles. Perspective.
The Management department at CSUN creates and disseminates knowledge to empower and inspire our students to produce change that leads to success in their personal and professional lives.
We believe that our passions will lead to increased performance for both our students and their organizations.
People
Our students will understand the psychology, sociology and economics of individuals and groups in organizations. We provide our students with the skills needed to develop human and social capital in organizations as the most important element of superior performance.
We provide our graduates with the interpersonal and organizational skills to develop themselves and others to lead productive and meaningful lives. We aim to provide our graduates with clear pathways into careers. Our faculty are respected scholars and teachers with strong connections to organizations.
Principles
Our students learn that their most valuable asset is their good name and that making a positive contribution to the lives of others is the greatest accomplishment they can achieve in their own lives. We provide our students with the skills needed to behave ethically and with integrity as the key ingredients of socially responsible behaviors.
Perspective
Our students will learn to be knowledgeable consumers of information and to analyze situations from different vantage points, taking into account key stakeholder groups. We will provide our students with tools and skills to develop and maintain relationships that create opportunities for their careers and their organizations. We are committed to providing leadership to our college, our campus and our community, and we thrive when merging theory and practice.
Academic Advisement
Academic advisement helps students meet their academic goals and graduate in a timely manner. Freshmen are first advised by the Matador Advising Hub and then transition to college-level advisement after completion of their first year. The Nazarian College Student Services Center/EOP Satellite provides academic advisement for Nazarian College majors during the remainder of their time at CSUN. Furthermore, Nazarian College Student Services Center/EOP Satellite provides specialized support and retention services for Nazarian College students admitted to the Educational Opportunity Program from time of admission through time of graduation.
