INDUSTRIAL MANAGEMENT
Bachelor of Science

The Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Management prepares students for management challenges in manufacturing, production planning, inventory control, quality assurance, and service operations. Students receive a broad-based education in business, but particular emphasis is placed on systems, theories, and issues dealing with the production of goods and services. The program is particularly relevant in today's economic environment, where improvements in productivity and quality are essential to meet the growing challenges of foreign producers. In addition to jobs in manufacturing management, graduates in Industrial Management are sometimes sought for positions as project directors by government agencies and research centers. Financial institutions have found the industrial management graduate well prepared for internal operations management as well as for liaison positions dealing with manufacturing companies as bank customers. The Industrial Management program is accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business and has received a special commendation for excellence from the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education.

Students who have attended Clemson at least one semester may change majors to Industrial Management with at least a 2.2 cumulative grade-point ratio. Exceptions must be approved by the department chair.
