Automotive Management

Automotive Management

The AMGT program (2 + 2 option) is a third- and fourth-year program that concentrates on managerial skills required by the automotive and heavy equipment industry. Along with specific automotive and heavy equipment management abilities, students have the opportunity to develop communication and other related skills through oral presentations and written projects that are required in many courses. In addition, an on-the-job management internship is an important part of the program.

All areas of the AMGT program are supported by a computer laboratory that features the very latest in industry hardware and software. Instruction is provided in the areas of management, sales, marketing, distribution, customer relations, warranty administration, franchising, dealership operations, accounting, financing and related computer skills.

Prepare for a Great Career
The AMGT industry needs managers and representatives with up-to-date technical, managerial and communication skills. Manufacturers need service, sales, parts and customer relations representatives.

Positions also exist in dealerships and repair centers and include service management, parts management, sales, leasing and general management. Other management positions include aftermarket managers, fleet managers, technical writers, trainers and government agency managers.

Graduates from the AMGT program are among the highest-paid and most sought-after graduates of Ferris.
