U-MMST-C - Markets and Management Certificate

The Markets and Management Studies Program at Duke is designed to meet the needs of Duke undergraduates who wish to study business issues and functions in preparation for careers in business and management, banking, consulting, government, the nonprofit sector, and related graduate fields. Courses in the program emphasize three integrated themes: (1) globalization and organizational innovations in the world economy; (2) the social determinants and consequences of new or changing technologies; and (3) the effect of cross-cultural and institutional factors on management and entrepreneurship.

Course of Study

Organizational studies in the social sciences provide an innovative, liberal arts approach to business education. The markets and management studies program is rooted in sociology, but it also includes studies in a variety of disciplines—economics, history, political science, public policy studies, ethics, and management science. Each course in the program deals in some way with the impact of different organizational forms on managing human resources, coordinating work, integrating technology, and using business networks in an increasingly competitive global economy. The four overarching learning objectives of the program are bridging theory and research, teamwork, communication skills, and active learning.

Program Enrollment

Only sophomores and juniors who have officially declared their major may enroll in the program. Enrollment must be done via the Markets and Management Studies website at markets.duke.edu.
