Spark your entrepreneurial spirit.
Overview
Our business program offers four areas of emphasis and a minor to fit your career goals. During your freshman and sophomore year, you’ll grasp a broad understanding of all areas of business. As you progress into your junior and senior year, you’ll narrow your focus on your emphasis.
Our faculty members bring expert business experience to the classroom for you to grow your perspectives and skills. You’ll learn to communicate, research, and analyze business concepts and develop a global mindset. That knowledge, combined with hands-on projects and internships, will set you apart for your future. Whether you want to become a CEO or start your own business, our program will help you focus on what you’re meant to do with your talents.

- "For me, teaching is much more than a student memorizing and reciting back a fact I’ve given them. It’s also instilling a value in the student to do their own thinking; for developing critical analysis skills so they think their way through a problem and apply an ethical solution. Knowledge is power, but only if what is learned can be applied."
