Student Testimonial
“I decided to pursue a Management major at TCU because, with aspirations to become a CEO, I knew that the skills I would learn in the Management classes would directly apply to my career. I have always enjoyed leading others and am constantly working to improve my leadership skills. The Management major helps students develop the necessary soft skills to navigate organizational challenges and opportunities, which I am already utilizing daily. Another reason I chose the Management major is because it easily pairs with other majors. I am also majoring in Entrepreneurship, and having both skill sets will allow me to be very well-prepared for life post-graduation.”
