Welcome from the Chair
I would like to extend a warm welcome to you as you visit our website. You or one of your family members or friends may be interested in one of our programs. The decision as to what to choose for a major in school can be overwhelming and scary, not just for the student, but also for the family. The good news is that the Business Department offers a range of practical paths – paths that will, in all probability, lead to employment and/or more advanced education.
Our courses offer you the opportunity to develop an appreciation for the multitude of opportunities available to you. These span entrepreneurship, accounting, fashion, marketing, and finance. In all, we offer you a chance to learn the underlying principles of business and gain competency at solving problems that may arise in the practice of business.
The department offers a wide variety of coursework ranging from Law and Financial Management, to Fashion Merchandising and Technology, to Financial Forecasting, to Marketing, and to Vision Care Technology (VCT) and Ophthalmic Dispensing. We also offer many elective courses. The research of the Business faculty is broadly focused in diverse areas. On our Publications & Research page, you can get an idea of our faculty’s areas of expertise. When possible, we endeavor to offer students the opportunity to work with us on a variety of projects and present their results.
