Message from the Dean
Welcome to the School of Business and Technology at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. The programs offered in the school are designed to foster and enhance the managerial and technical skills of our students. These skills are crucial in today’s highly competitive business and technological world. We are committed to teaching excellence, scholarly research, and public service. At the same time, we maintain a focus of excellence that keeps the student firmly in mind. This allows us to provide classes that are smaller than those at larger universities. As a result, our students have a higher level of access to their professors, all of whom are full-time teaching or practicing professionals.
The successful firms of the future will be those that constantly reinvent themselves and maintain global awareness. For that reason, our students commit to life-long learning, openness to change, innovation, and multicultural understanding. The School of Business and Technology (SBT), which is located in a growing economic corridor midway between Milwaukee and Chicago, operates under a policy of continuous improvement. This means that we are constantly looking for ways to improve the programs and services that we offer and seek new opportunities that will provide the quality education that our graduates need to prepare for the marketplace challenges of the 21st century.
The SBT offers undergraduate and graduate business and computer science programs. At the undergraduate level, bachelor of science degrees in business management, management information systems, and computer science are available. In business management, students may concentrate in accounting, finance, general business, human resource management, or marketing. A minor in business management and certificate programs in project management and entrepreneurship are also available. Offered at the graduate level are the master of business administration and master of science in computer and information systems degrees. The Computer Science department also offers minors in computer science and web development and certificate programs in UNIX system administration, cyber security, and Web publishing, the latter in cooperation with the Department of Art. Additionally, internship and project-based learning opportunities are available to provide students with hands-on experience working with area companies and organizations. Both day and evening courses are offered to provide scheduling flexibility for our diverse student body.
The business programs in the SBT are accredited by AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. As of April 2008, less than one third of business programs in the U.S. and less than 10 percent globally meet the rigorous standards of quality set by AACSB International. All our programs provide students with a professional, intellectually stimulating, challenging, and enjoyable experience, and upon graduation a high degree of employability in a variety of exciting and rewarding careers. Browse through our website to learn more about the SBT, its outstanding faculty, and excellent programs.
We look forward to providing you the opportunity to enrich your prospects for a successful future.
