Management Practices
Image for Management Practices Whereas HUCE's Management Principles program introduces students to general concepts, the "practices" program enables students to master powerful, specialized procedures and techniques that are applicable to more specific circumstances. Accordingly, students who are new to management are advised to consider taking some of the fundamental principles courses before enrolling in any of the courses in the "practices" group.

Note: The courses in this program are taught by HUCE's course development partners -- Gatlin Educational Services, MindEdge, Inc, Reed Educational Services
