Bachelor of Science in Business Management

at University of New Haven USA

The structure of our society – roads, bridges, tunnels, railroads, dams, and airports – all depend on the skill of civil engineers. To a large extent, so does the health, safety, and welfare of the individuals in that society. In fact, civil engineers have saved more lives, through clean water and sanitation systems, than all of the doctors in history.

In the University of New Haven’s B.S. in civil engineering program, students participate in a multi-disciplinary curriculum that combines mathematics, science, communication, humanities, and social science with a broad base of civil engineering technologies.

The result? You develop the well-rounded perspective that’s critical to the modern-day engineer. Through this program, you will also:

• Narrow your focus by choosing a specialty in structural, geotechnical, environmental, or water-resources engineering
• Design and conduct experiments, then analyze and interpret the data
• Study project management, city planning, transportation, and surveying
• Learn to design systems, components and processes to meet needs and comply with economic, environmental, social, political, and ethical constraints
• Be able to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
• Understand the impact of engineering in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
• Learn from practical and laboratory experience
• Gain experience through at least one internship
• Develop skills in entrepreneurship, marketing, and business
• Use the most sophisticated, high-tech products in the field, including GPS, GIS, CAD, and task-specific computer software

The University’s full-time MBA program, which is one of only two in Connecticut – and less than 30 across the U.S. – that offer concentrations that are STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) certified by the federal government, enables you to both master new skills through rigorous coursework and build a portfolio of experience through internships and real-world learning opportunities that will prepare you to excel.

Our program is a great choice for those who’ve recently completed an undergraduate degree or who are looking to continue their education straight out of college. The program’s schedule allows for students to complete the program in as few as 12 months for those who meet the criteria to waive the three business foundation courses, and carry a 12-credit hour load. Students who do not meet the waiver criteria may complete the program in less than two years.

 Marketing and Digital Marketing

This concentration provides students with the technical skills to use digital analytics and managerial prowess to strategically implement marketing decisions related to business operations.

Before September 11, 2001, the job market for emergency management was already expanding quickly. The movement of populations into the "Sunshine States" and into risk-prone areas such as coastlines, floodplains, and forests made natural events such as hurricanes, wildfires, and tornadoes far more threatening and challenging to communities and businesses. After September 11, terrorism in all forms — including biological and chemical — became a crucial and inextricable part of emergency management.
