Managers are people who are responsible for the work of others. Management positions are available in most all fields and organizations. Business and industry are constantly searching for capable people to assume managerial responsibilities. The manager works with people, machinery, materials, money and methods. A manager's biggest responsibility is working with people. They create environments that enable employees to perform well while helping the company reach its goals. 

Cohort learning community

The online option of Delta's general management program is designed as a cohort community. This means you will complete this program with the same group, from start to finish. There are many benefits of a cohort, including a shared learning environment, streamlined registration and a guaranteed seat in every class. Advantages of cohorts go beyond the classroom.
