About the College of Business

Welcome to the College of Business

The College of Business takes immense pride in shaping the leaders of tomorrow. Our graduates have been the proving ground for leaders in major accounting firms, CEOs and CFOs of banks and financial institutions, executives in insurance and manufacturing industries, top healthcare and nonprofit professionals, and scores of entrepreneurs. These individuals have gained the knowledge needed from our comprehensive educational approach focusing on general business knowledge and specific major-related skills. This balance between broad and focused learning has empowered our students to effectively contribute to their respective organizations and excel in their careers.

Our undergraduate students can choose from nine distinct majors and several combined degree programs designed to save time and tuition. In line with national trends, approximately 20% of our business students start their journey without a decided major. To support these students, we offer an Exploratory Program that allows them to delve into various fields of business, ensuring a wise and informed investment in their future. 

At the graduate level, our MBA offers the quality, convenience, flexibility, and affordability sought by individuals seeking to rise to executive roles. Capitalizing on the strengths of our accounting, leadership, and sport management programs and the diverse offerings of the University, we are uniquely positioned to provide a wide array of advanced and combined degrees to open doors to even greater career opportunities.

The College of Business is also renowned for its attention to students, fostering invaluable internship connections within the business community, and the highest business accreditation in the world (AACSB). This unique blend of theory and practical experience sets our graduates up for success, facilitating a smooth transition from academia to their professional careers. As a result, they are fully equipped and ready to contribute to their chosen industries significantly.
