The Field

The Isenberg School of Management prepares students to assume positions of responsibility in the diverse business world. Students may pursue an education in a variety of business disciplines represented by majors in seven departments and two undergraduate 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.
