The department's overarching goal is to prepare ethically grounded, socially responsible men and women who are able to contribute to our global society in meaningful ways through their professional and personal lives.

Our curriculum, embedded in the liberal arts, focuses on developing students' analytical, critical thinking and communication skills and emphasizes the integration of theory and its practical application. Students are strongly encouraged to extend their learning beyond the classroom setting through course projects in the field, internships and study abroad.

Our graduates serve in leadership positions in for profit and not for profit settings, including a wide range of industry, financial, governmental and healthcare organizations. Our alumni have pursued a variety of graduate programs, including accounting and finance, business, international management, public policy and law to name a few.
