Felician University

What you'll study

The programme blends foundational business courses with specialised management and operations topics. Core business modules typically include financial accounting, managerial accounting, principles of finance, marketing, organisational behaviour, business law and ethics, and business statistics. Management and operations-focused modules commonly cover operations management, supply chain and logistics, project management, process improvement (including Lean and Six Sigma concepts), strategic management, human resource management, and managerial decision-making using quantitative methods.

Students are usually required to complete a sequence of experiential and integrative components such as case studies, group projects, a practicum or internship, and a capstone course that synthesises strategy and operations. Elective options often allow further study in areas such as entrepreneurship, information systems, data analytics for business, international business, and sustainable operations.

Entry requirements

Applicants should hold a recognised high school diploma or equivalent. Typical admissions criteria include a competitive high school GPA and a transcript showing strong performance in mathematics and English. Felician University considers the whole application package, so a personal statement or admissions essay, one or more academic or character references, and a résumé or list of extracurricular activities can strengthen an application.

Standardised test requirements (SAT/ACT) vary by applicant and may be optional; check the university's admissions guidance for current practice. International applicants must demonstrate English proficiency through recognised tests or approved alternatives if their prior education was not in English, and provide certified academic transcripts and any required credential evaluations.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared for entry to mid-level roles across a range of industries. Common career paths include operations manager, supply chain analyst or coordinator, logistics specialist, project manager, business analyst, production supervisor, procurement buyer, and roles in sales operations and customer service management. The skill set also supports careers in consulting, process improvement, and small-business management or entrepreneurship.

Many students build experience through internships and Felician's career services, which helps with employer connections in the local region and the broader metropolitan area. Graduates often progress into supervisory and leadership positions, or pursue postgraduate study in business, management, supply chain, or related professional qualifications.
