WHY STUDY BUSINESS AT TRINITY?

Based on a strong academic foundation, the business major is designed to equip students with strategic, interpersonal, and practical skills to prepare them for success in businesses or in other organizations. The major prepares graduates for administrative careers in businesses or nonprofit organizations as well as for potential graduate work. Students may choose an emphasis in accounting, entrepreneurship, human resource management, management, marketing, nonprofit management, and social entrepreneurship. An additional area of emphasis may be added if the student fulfills all of the requirements of the additional emphasis including at least 9 hours of coursework beyond that which is required of the original area of emphasis. The curriculum includes content recommended by specialized accrediting agencies, enabling Trinity business graduates to successfully compete with students who graduate with business degrees from internationally accredited colleges and universities.
