The Regis College Management and Leadership Department has developed a balanced program of liberal arts and management/leadership education. The management and leadership major helps students learn to:
- Lead and use influence skills for the common good.
- Think critically and creatively.
- Diagnose and solve problems in an open systems perspective.
- Manage change and create learning communities.
- Examine the ethical impact of leaders' decisions.
Management and leadership students achieve these objectives by focusing on these critical elements:
- Conceptual thinking: analysis, problem-solving, decision-making, and systems thinking
- Human relations: communications, interpersonal skills, leadership, and motivation
- Technical expertise: functional skills in financial analysis, statistical analysis, economics, and computer literacy.
- Doing the right thing: the ethical leadership dimension.
Both inside and outside the classroom, the management and leadership major enhances students' cooperative learning and critical thinking skills and challenges students to develop personal values that result in ethical business decisions. Meanwhile, semester-long internships offer hands-on experience to enrich students' understanding of organizations.
Recent management and leadership majors have interned in such fields as:
- Accounting (Brigham & Woman's Hospital, Fidelity Investments, Mass. State Treasury Dept.)
- Finance (AG Edwards, Fidelity Investments, P&E Investments, TD Banknorth)
- Human resources (Doubletree Quarters, Marriott Hotels, Sheraton Hotels)

- Not-for-profits* (American Red Cross, Charles River Museum of Industry, The Home for Little Wanderers)

* The Cronin/Kauffman Foundation supports internships in non-profits, small business and startup organizations in Greater Boston.
