Benedictine College School of Business

The primary objective of the School of Business is to prepare students for successful and rewarding careers in traditional business occupations. The core business curriculum focuses on the four main functional areas of a business enterprise (accounting, finance, management, and marketing), important supporting competencies (quantitative methods, statistical analysis, economics, law, and executive communications), and character formation (ethics). The business degree programs reflect a belief that professionals require technical and leadership skills that are balanced with the perspective, critical thinking, and communication skills produced by a combined business and liberal arts education.

The Benedictine College School of Business leverages the strength of the Benedictine College liberal arts programs to build the Four C’s in each of our graduates:

• The ability to Communicate with excellence both verbally and in writing
• A thorough and complete Competency that will add value to an enterprise
• The necessary Character to lead other competent people upon promotion
• A Compassionate worldview as a top executive evidencing the belief that the effort is bigger than any one person, including themselves
   

Our School of Business graduates think better, communicate better, lead better, and can do more, producing better results through the work of others. The core and common block of knowledge courses in the School of Business give each student in the School the same foundation on which to learn and build their major competency area.  Closing out their academic careers, all School of Business students participate in our Capstone Curriculum including a seminar on executive communication and writing, a seminar on ethics and morality in business, and a course in strategic management.  We believe this curriculum prepares our students well for long and meaningful careers in the marketplace.
