Humanistic Management

The McLaren School of Management offers six minors for students in non-business majors.

The minors are reflected on students' transcripts, and require a letter grade and a minimum GPA of 2.0 in the minor. Students interested in a Business minor should consult with their adviser to declare the minor and to review the specific course requirements and necessary prerequisites for the courses.

The Humanistic Management Minor will introduce students to a people-oriented management perspective that promotes the well-being and dignity of human beings in organizations and the supremacy of people over material goods and wealth creation when determining organizational goals. Critical to Humanistic Management is belief in individual freedom, autonomy, participation, cooperation, dialogue, respect, diversity, and generosity, as key drivers of well-being, dignity, and organizational success. Guided by these beliefs, Humanistic Management proposes to partner with individuals at work rather, than control or command, and aspires to create more egalitarian and humane organizations. Simply put, organizations should work for the betterment of human beings and society, not the other way around.

• Official transcripts: You'll need a transcript from each school that you've attended, plus a certified translation if the transcript is not in English. Your school counselor may also directly email your transcript(s) and your school report to [email protected].
  
  We’ll accept unofficial transcripts as long as they are in PDF format and clearly show your full name, your school's name, your courses, and your grades. Unreadable or illegible PDF documents will not be accepted. If you are admitted to USF and you choose to enroll, you’ll be asked to provide your official final transcript.
• English proficiency test scores: If English is not your native language, you are required to submit official results of the TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, or Duolingo English test. Learn more about our English language proficiency requirements, including how to waive these requirements.
• Certification of Finances: International students intending to study on an F-1 or J-1 visa must verify their ability to pay for their first year at USF. Learn more about the Certification of Finances.
  
  If you are intending to study at USF on a different visa (e.g. E-2, H-4, R-2, etc.), please email a copy of your visa to [email protected].
• (Optional) Gap Year explanation: If you have taken, are currently taking, or plan to take a gap year or additional time off after completing high school, there is a section on the Common Application for you to explain how you have spent your time or how you plan to spend your time.
• (Optional) SAT or ACT scores: USF does not require students to submit standardized test scores when applying for undergraduate admission.
  
  International students must still demonstrate English language proficiency by submitting an official TOEFL or IELTS score, or by meeting one of the waiver requirements listed on the English language proficiency page.
  
  If you do choose to submit your scores, you may have them sent directly from the testing agency, or you may send unofficial (self-reported) scores. You can send a screenshot of your test scores (name, test date, scores, and subscores must be visible), or have your counselor email us your score reports or an updated transcript with your scores to [email protected].
  
  The writing sections of the SAT are not used in the evaluation process. USF will continue to superscore both the SAT and ACT. If you submit both scores for our review, we will use the highest score available for our admission review.

• Complete the Common Application and send the non-refundable application fee by the application deadline.
