Because of the complexity of most production systems, managers responsible for ensuring delivery of goods and services in every industry require an enormous amount of assistance and support. Industrial management graduates from UC's Carl H. Lindner College of Business oversee the planning, scheduling and coordination of work flow and processing activities to deliver quality products and services effectively and efficiently. They support other managers in finance and marketing functions to make the overall organization operate effectively.

Career Possibilities:

UC's bachelor's degree in industrial management (BSIM) enjoys an outstanding reputation and recruiters throughout the Midwest compete for its quality graduates. Positions offered recently to graduating students include production manager, manufacturing engineer, industrial marketing representative and purchasing manager, among others. 

Salaries are typically in the 90th percentile of graduates from the Lindner College of Business. Recently a vice president of purchasing at a major automobile firm commented, "The alumni base of BSIMs from Cincinnati is really strong. BSIM graduates from UC are in top positions in every firm in the automotive industry supply chain."
