Mission and Goals
The Business Department offers Bachelor of Arts degrees with majors in Business: Accounting & Strategic Finance; Business: Financial Planning; and Business: Management & Marketing. Students selecting a major in Business: Management & Marketing may add an optional concentration in International Business. Minors are available in Accounting, Business Administration or Marketing. Two certificate programs are available: Entrepreneurship Certificate and Financial Planning Certificate. There are options to combine majors, minors, and certificates.
The vision of the Business Department is to be recognized for business education that fosters environmental, social, and economic justice in an ever-changing world.
The Business Department's mission is consistent with Carroll College's dual goals of vocation and enlightenment and prepares students for graduate school or entry into the workforce. Framed by a strong foundation in liberal arts education, the mission of the Business Department is to provide students with the strong ethical foundation and globally informed knowledge and skills necessary for today's dynamic professional environment.
The Business: Management & Marketing major prepares students for a wide-variety of business careers. Through the liberal arts education, students develop valuable communication and reasoning skills. The business majors are designed and evaluated to ensure students are prepared for entry directly into the workforce or for acceptance into graduate school. Students are fully prepared to transition from the Business: Management and Marketing program to be responsible, ethical, informed, and highly competent professionals to pursue successful future endeavors in business, entrepreneurial, and/or further academic opportunities in the fields of management and/or marketing.
