Academic Organization
Academic pathways designed for success
The College of Business is organized into three academic schools that collaborate to deliver an integrated business education — one that reflects the complexity of today’s organizations and prepares graduates to lead across disciplines.
Our Structure
Three schools. One purpose. Your success.
Our three-school structure — the School of Accounting, Finance and Information Systems, the School of Marketing, Analytics and Design and the
School of Management, Entrepreneurship and Supply Chain — allows the College of Business to integrate specialized expertise and foster collaboration across disciplines. Students benefit from access to diverse faculty perspectives, interdisciplinary coursework and career pathways that fuse business, design and technology. The schools also support faculty by providing research support, cross-disciplinary thought leadership and mentoring for research excellence.
