Businesses today operate in a global environment that is constantly evolving. The key to success is the ability to adapt and respond quickly.

The SOM prepares students to meet today’s challenges and shape tomorrow’s opportunities through team-based projects, lectures, assignments, case analyses, and class discussions.
SOM offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional certificate programs in various business and management disciplines, including accounting, marketing, entrepreneurship, finance, supply chain, and beyond. Whether you are a recent high school graduate looking for a bachelor’s degree program or a working professional wanting to advance your career with a higher degree, the SOM has what you need to achieve your goals.
