Welcome to the School of Business

The faculty in our ACBSP-accredited business programs stand ready to help you in your educational journey to become a success in your career of choice.

Our programs have the depth necessary for you to enter the workforce ready to work. In addition, you will be well-prepared to pursue any graduate or professional degree. Through our robust internship program, you will have the opportunity to leave our School with exposure to and experience in real business situations while working under mentors who will bridge your classroom learning with experiential learning. You can pursue your MBA with our 4+1 program (available to all majors on campus) or prepare yourself for other opportunities in front of you.

Whether you are interested in accounting, business administration, economics, intelligent enterprise, marketing or personal financial planning, we have a home for you. Our faculty will work with you to mold your degree to your desires. Want to be an entrepreneur? Many of our alumni are successful business owners. Want to be a CEO? You can do it. Want to manage a large organization? We can help you reach your potential.

Our faculty are experienced in and ready to help you with your intellectual development throughout your college career. Our business is your success!

Go Boro!
