Traditional Undergraduate Programs

The Edgewood College School of Business offers an innovative, integrated undergraduate degree program. As part of their core curriculum, business majors take a series of classes that are interdisciplinary and team-taught and four additional three credit business courses. These intensive courses employ active learning approaches to foster student development that goes beyond memorization to application. The School of Business is focused not just on what our students know, but what they can actually do with that knowledge. The integrated approach helps students develop a holistic view of how organizations work, how different business disciplines interface, and how to effectively impact their organizations.

In addition to their core courses, business majors must choose an area of concentration; a concentration choice is optional for accounting majors. Students take courses in a specific discipline to develop a deeper level of expertise. The School of Business offers five concentration options: Accounting, Finance, General Business, Management and Marketing. All business and accounting majors are required to complete one internship experience of at least 160 hours. While completing the internship, students take a course for credit that helps them develop their career management skills.
