The Field
The Isenberg School of Management prepares students to assume positions of responsibility in the diverse world of business. Students may pursue an education in a variety of business disciplines represented by majors in seven departments and two degree programs. Majors in the Accounting, Finance, Operations and Information Management, Management, and Marketing departments earn the B.B.A. degree, while majors in the Hospitality and Tourism Management and Sport Management departments earn the B.S. degree.
