Welcome to the St. Bonaventure University School of Business website.
The School of Business was founded in
1941 and moved into the John J. Murphy Professional Building in 1981.
We offer majors and minors at the undergraduate
level in accounting, business information systems, finance, management
sciences and marketing.
Minors in business are also offered in
business administration (for non-business majors),
economics, international business, quantitative analysis for business,
and sports management. We also offer the MBA degree in the evening on
campus and have a five-year accounting program leading to an MBA degree
on campus.
In addition, we offer the MBA degree in a weekend format at our Buffalo Center in Hamburg, N.Y., a suburb of Buffalo.
The School of Business is
committed to educational excellence, preparing students to meet the
many challenges of a dynamic global business environment. The school
has produced a significant number of graduates who have become leaders
in business, government and not-for-profit organizations throughout the
United States.
The School of Business is
accredited through The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of
Business (AACSB International). Our faculty are highly qualified and
have appropriate academic credentials. Faculty stress a high level of
interaction with the students and are able to provide students with
practical business examples in the classroom.
Students are provided with
the opportunity to have a variety of experiences outside the classroom.
A significant number of our students participate in the Internship
Program, giving them practical experience in a real-world environment.
Other opportunities include participation in the Students in Free Enterprise Program (SIFE), BonaResponds, and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
program. For the last several years students involved in the SIFE
program have gone to the Bahamas and worked on service projects to
assist communities that have encountered devastation through natural
disasters.
A significant number of
students have also participated in BonaResponds, which is an
organization that was formed to assist in the Hurricane Katrina
disaster, and have since provided disaster relief in many other venues.
Upper level accounting students participate in the VITA program, which
provides income tax assistance to low-income taxpayers.
The above examples reflect
opportunities students have to provide service to society, and assist
in developing each student as a total person.
I am pleased you took the
time to visit our website. We hope you have discovered the many
opportunities available in the School of Business at St. Bonaventure
University.
Sincerely,
Dr. Carol M. Fischer
