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, Management, Marketing, and Operations & Information Management departments earn the B.B.A. degree, while majors in the Hospitality and Tourism Management and Sport Management departments earn the B.S. degree.

The Isenberg School’s educational program is directed toward the broad aspects of business, encouraging high standards of ethical conduct, broad social responsibilities, and the development of competence in particular courses of the student’s own interests, aptitude, and choice. In addition, the introduction to such fields as mathematics, economics, psychology, sociology, and government offers a deeper understanding of the relationship between business and these other disciplines.
