Individualized Studies: Military Studies and Business Management. I am pursuing a Bachelors of Science Degree with a concentration on Individual Studies. I chose this degree because it allows students to combine professional studies with liberal arts and science into a cohesive course of study, and because I can create a course of study which relates quite closely to my field, and my career goals for the future. This course of study combines the technical aspects of logistics with business management, and relies on the experiences I have already gained working for the Department of Defense (DOD) in logistics.

What do Military Studies and Business Management involve?

Certainly, this course of study involves critical thinking, leadership, management techniques, and organizational behavior, which are all classes leading up to my degree.

I have been able to put them into good use on my level as I deal with my co-workers and colleagues, and in addition, I have been able to see my managers effectively use some of the tools I have recently learned. I can see that the management techniques from these classes apply to all levels of my career, and as I move up from my current position, I will be able to utilize nearly all of them on a day-to-day basis. For example, the next step up from my current position includes the management of positions like mine, and I do not currently manage any other employees. I have found the management techniques in Leadership Management and Management Technology to be especially enlightening and applicable to my situation because I am not currently involved in management.
