About

Thinking, Doing, Growing

Business leaders begin here. The nationally recognized Poole College of Management is the perfect launching pad for the future.

Undergraduates spend their first year exploring areas of study in the college before choosing one of our major programs in accounting, business administration or economics. A wide variety of minors and concentrations in areas including business analytics, entrepreneurship, finance, human resources, information technology, marketing, and operations and supply chain management allow you to sharpen your focus or gain exposure to areas outside your major.

Students apply their knowledge through practicum courses, internships, case studies, international programs and leadership opportunities. Our faculty are award-winning experts in their fields, and many bring years of professional experience — and a passion for student success — to their teaching. The result: knowledgeable, creative-thinking, globally focused graduates who are ready for whatever path they choose.
