Student Centered Programs

Business leaders are increasingly called upon to develop flexible, creative strategies for success in a competitive global economy. As a Marywood graduate, you’ll be well prepared for managerial and administrative leadership through a broadly based business curriculum integrated with the liberal arts. You’ll choose a major in accounting, aviation management, computer information and telecommunication systems, finance, hospitality management, international business, management, or marketing. Whichever you choose, you’ll gain knowledge in the fundamentals of business as well as technical and communication skills.

But Marywood doesn’t just produce students prepared for success as business analysts, financial planners, computer programmers, hospitality managers, system analysts, stockbrokers, retailers, accountants, commercial pilots, and other business leaders. The business faculty also helps you understand how to use your knowledge to meet human needs and how to work as an ethically and socially responsible professional. A goal of your education - as it is for every Marywood student – will be to learn to live responsibly in an interdependent world.

Faculty
In the Business and Managerial Science Programs, you’ll find a group of dedicated and knowledgeable faculty members, committed to helping you prepare for a rewarding career in the business world. They have practical experience in addition to their academic training, and they know how to present the variety of business philosophies that predominate in the US and abroad. Faculty members teach the courses, supervise your field work experiences, advise you on course selection and internship opportunities, and still find time for their own research.

Facilities and Technology
The Business and Managerial Science Programs benefit from Marywood University's commitment to provide all students with state-of-the-art technology. You’ll find computer facilities with the latest in computer technology, as well as specialized business applications and programming facilities for students majoring in Computer Information and Telecommunications Systems. In addition, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport is used for flight instruction allowing our Aviation Management students to gain the knowledge necessary to deal with commercial air traffic.

The Regional Advantage
As a Business student, you’ll be strongly urged to take advantage of the opportunities offered by corporations participating in the department’s internship program. You’ll have the chance for on-the-job training at a variety of firms in the Scranton-Wilkes Barre region or elsewhere (including New York City- Philadelphia corridor or even beyond), such as Fleet Financial, Morgan Stanley, Prudential Asset Management, Prudential Securities, Parente, Rudolph, Orlando, Carey and Associates, Metropolitan Life Insurance, Walt Disney World, U.S. Air Express, and others. You can participate in the internship program in your junior or senior year (accounting majors participate in the spring of their senior year only) if you meet the program’s requirements.

Requirements of the Program
Students enrolled in Business and Managerial Science at Marywood have a choice of eight majors. In addition to the foundation of Business courses – including a philosophy course in business ethics, an economics course, and a mathematics course – there are specific requirements of each of the majors. (The philosophy, economics, and math course credits count toward the 64 credits in core liberal arts and skills required of every Marywood student.)
