School of Business Administration

Business enterprise remains one of the most powerful tools we possess in making the world a better place.

In order for future business leaders to continue improving the lives of people both at home and abroad, they must be able to adapt to increasing levels of change— in markets, in practices, and in the ideas that move economies forward.

Widener's School of Business Administration is poised to equip tomorrow's managers and entrepreneurs with the skills they need to lead organizations. After a strong foundation in core business concepts, students then take upper-level coursework that offers instruction in how to apply management principles in all types of business organizations.

Rigorous Academics

Each major curricula provides a balance of liberal and professional studies to develop technical competence and social sensitivity. Business students are taught applications of quantitative and scientific methods in both basic and advanced courses, and behavioral issues related to the role of business, business ethics, the future of capitalism, corporate social responsibility, economic power, and the significance of value premises in decision making are integral parts of each curriculum.

Management is studied as an open system interacting with political, social, and economic institutions in a dynamic global environment.
