BUSINESS MANAGEMENT MAJOR

Business students are in high demand for professional internships with major corporations and businesses of all sizes. You can also participate in faculty-led study abroad experiences to see business in action across the world. 

Not only do business students learn from top faculty, you also benefit from visiting scholars and guest speakers in the classroom and during special events by the department, college, and student organizations.

Gain real-world experience through the Ralph Jaeschke Solutions for Economic Growth Center (SEG), a campus partnership with area businesses and nonprofit organizations. Under the direction of faculty, students help solve business challenges, allowing them to expand upon what they learn in the classroom. The work provides a cost-effective solution for medium and small-sized  organizations.

Within SEG are specialty centers:

• Information Technology Practice Center
• Operations Management Specialty Center
• and Accounting and Finance Specialty Center

It's difficult to learn from a textbook how business is conducted outside of the U.S. The Global Education Center (GEC) evolved as a means to:

• provide students with first-hand experience through international study
• bring international experts and scholars to campus
• provide faculty members with opportunities to study abroad
• and recruit international students to Parkside.

Our Business Department is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB). We offer a high-quality, highly relevant educational experience taught by professors who regularly interact with the business community and who are up to date with the rapid changes in the global business environment.

Only 5% of business schools worldwide have earned this "gold standard" program accreditation.
