No matter what path you choose to follow in life, a degree in business can help you get there. The University at Albany's School of Business provides a solid learning foundation for highly motivated, qualified, and intelligent individuals who have a strong desire to succeed in their chosen field. With supportive faculty, a challenging curriculum, and small, interactive classes (approximately 30-50 students once you enter your major), the School of Business fosters the growth and development of highly qualified individuals who are prepared to solve a wide range of challenges.

Here you will learn the principles and methods employed by managers of successful companies of all sizes and types. You will be able to study in-depth a business function of your choosing, or if you prefer, pursue a combined major with a focus on two complementary areas.

The student body consists of a fairly equal gender balance while maintaining a culturally diverse mix of students. All have at least one thing in common: the desire to work hard and achieve success. The School offers separate sections of business courses for majors and non-majors, so classes for majors are made up of focused, motivated individuals.

The School of Business is a separate building where the majority of your major classes are held. Not only is this convenient, but it is also conducive to a friendly, social atmosphere. There are many social and professional clubs and organizations you can join as well. You will encounter many group projects and presentations throughout your time here, giving you the opportunity to build interpersonal, leadership, communication, and presentation skills, while learning how to work effectively and efficiently in teams. The University at Albany's business students are highly recruited by prestigious firms and Fortune 500 companies who regard these skills as crucial to survival in the business world.
