Why Choose Automotive and
Heavy Equipment Management?
The AHM program is a third and fourth year
academic program
that concentrates on managerial skills required by the automotive and
heavy equipment industry.
The automotive and heavy equipment industry needs
managers and representatives with up-to-date technical, managerial and
communication skills.
Manufacturers also 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. In addition, there are other
management positions such as aftermarket managers, fleet managers,
technical writers, trainers and government agency managers.
Graduates from the AHM program are among the
highest-paid and most sought-after graduates of Ferris. Because every
global automotive manufacturer doing business in America requires managers
with the precise skills offered by this program, many graduates are faced
with the difficult decision of choosing from several highly-desirable and
lucrative job offers.

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