Message from the Chair

Student successes in the business world are the core of our mission at UW-Parkside. Our highly qualified faculty strives for excellence both in the classroom and through publishing in highly prestigious international journals. Our impressive student/faculty ratios enable us to ensure that every student is afforded the most for their education

We understand the constraints of working adults and non-traditional students. With this in mind, we have modified our department structure to:

• Make class schedules more flexible
• Provide advisement geared toward the needs of non-traditional students
• Expansion of course offerings using alternate forms of delivery
• Completely online courses
• Online format available in many business foundation courses

We value a hands-on learning experience and provide opportunities for students to work on projects from multi-national companies in the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor. In recent years, our students have been hired by such prestigious companies as:

• Johnson Diversey
• Northwestern Mutual
• Snap-On
• SC Johnson
• Jockey International
• Abbott Labs
• Briggs and Stratton
• Harley-Davidson

The quality of our programs is evidenced by the fact that our programs are accredited by AACSB (The Association to Advance the Collegiate Schools of Business). We are the only accredited program in the Kenosha (WI), Racine (WI) and Lake (IL) counties.

Therefore, if you are a student looking for:

• An internationally accredited business program where you can learn from highly renowned and qualified faculty
• A community with a small-town atmosphere yet is in close proximity to two major cities, Chicago and Milwaukee
• Small class sizes where you get to know and learn from your professor

Then you do not have to look beyond the Business department at UW-Parkside.

Sincerely,
