Quality Management Key Features

• The University of Minnesota, Crookston is one of only a few universities with a bachelor's level Quality Management major.
• Our degree in Quality Management is focused on line- and middle management groups that need to track down the cause of the problem wherever it originates within production, processing, packaging, distribution and warehousing operations.
• The Bachelor of Manufacturing Management degree in Quality Management will prepare students for employment in the private sector as well as state and federal regulatory agencies. Quality Management assures consumers that products are free of defects and will function in expected ways and this is an increasingly important priority for people, industry, and government. Ensuring that the product failures are internal will stop the very large costs involved with product recalls and will therefore increase the profitability of manufacturing enterprises.
• Combine the Quality Management degree program with Business Management, Communication, or Manufacturing Management.
• The Quality Management degree is available on-campus or online.
