Associate Professor: Weaver (Director)
The purpose of the Institute for Management Studies is to enhance the
educational opportunities for students majoring or minoring in accounting,
business administration, or economics. It does this by offering an expanded
internship program, special seminars on important management topics, student
involvement in faculty research and professional projects, executive development
seminars, and a Management Scholars program for academically talented students
(described below). In addition, the IMS hosts guest speakers and conferences on
current management issues. 210 MANAGEMENT SCHOLAR SEMINAR Team-taught interdisciplinary seminar under the direction of the IMS faculty.
A different interdisciplinary topic relevant to students in all three IMS
departments is offered at least once a year. Completion of two semesters
required by the Management Scholars Program. One-quarter unit of credit.
Prerequisite: Membership in the Management Scholars Program or consent of IMS
Director. May be repeated for credit. 340 MANAGEMENT INTERNSHIP STUDY A practicum in which students work as interns for businesses, government
agencies and nonprofit organizations in the Williamsport area and locations in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Washington, D.C., and other places. Reading,
writing and research assignments vary by the credit value of the experience.
Enrollments are limited to the numbers of available placements. Most internships
are full-time paid positions, although part-time and unpaid positions are
occasionally accepted. Four to eight semester hours of credit. Prerequisite:
Membership in the Institute for Management Studies and consent of the Director.
May be repeated for a maximum of 16 credits. IMS Scholars Program The IMS sponsors a Management Scholars Program for academically talented students in the three IMS departments. To join the Management Scholars Program, a student must satisfy the following criteria: a) Have a declared major or minor in one or more of the IMS departments. However, the IMS Director may invite or permit other students to join the Management Scholars Program who do not meet this criterion, such as freshmen who have not yet declared a major or minor.b) Have an overall GPA of 3.25 or higher, or exhibit strong academic potential if the student is a first-semester freshman. To graduate as a Management Scholar, a student must meet the following criteria: a) Successfully complete two semester- hours of Management Scholar Seminars. At least one Management Scholar Seminar is taught per academic year on an interdisciplinary topic of relevance to students in all three IMS departments. The seminars are normally offered as one semester-hour courses and do not result in overload charges for full-time students. Students who are currently Lycoming College Scholars may also become Management Scholars and participate in both programs. |
