This curriculum guide is intended to aid community colleges, area vocational technical schools, and other institutions that provide mid-management educational programs in the state of Kansas to eliminate duplication between various institutions and to provide standard titles and standard content from institution to institution. Following an introduction, the curriculum guide is divided into the following parts: (1) an overall mid-management common core curriculum as the basis for all mid-management programs; (2) the mid-management-related competency core--competencies essential to mid-management that are not necessarily management courses: communication, mathematics, and human relations; (3) the overall mid-management curriculum, including the summary of the core curricula, the specialized courses, and the general education requirements for a two-year maximum program of 62 credit hours; (4) the mid-management specialized core, in three general areas--production and manufacturing, marketing and retailing, and service; (5) a sample curriculum for one- and two-year programs; (6) suggested course descriptions for the core curricula courses and for at least part of the marketing and retailing specialized cores. Course descriptions contain the course names, the typical length of the course, alternate titles, examples of course content, prerequisites, and the typical level offered--either freshman or sophomore.
