There are more than 1,200 business programs in the United States. All teach accounting, finance, management, marketing, economics and other basic disciplines. What sets the really good ones apart? Location, facilities, corporate involvement and support, faculty, and students who want to learn and take full advantage of opportunities given them.
The VCU School of Business is located in the heart of one of the most vibrant business communities in the country – recently recognized as one of the top 10 places in the country for business and careers (Forbes), and home to 13 Fortune 1000 headquarter companies. If you want to study business, go where business lives!
Snead Hall, our new School of Business building, opened for classes in January with almost 150,000 square feet of tiered case study classrooms, team building rooms, a capital markets center and trading room, a career center for business and engineering students, and a cafe.
Our corporate support and involvement are superb, and increasing by the day. We call on companies for professional faculty, mentors, internships and co-ops, and many other partnerships. Take a look at our Foundation Board of Trustees and our Alumni Board to get an idea of the quality individuals involved with our school.
Our faculty of teacher-scholars, nearly 100 strong, complemented by some 60 adjunct/professional faculty drawn from Richmond corporations, teach a breadth of programs un-matched in our region. Quoted often in major publications like Forbes, Fortune, and Business Week, the faculty is at the heart of the School’s excellence.
Whether you are a prospective undergraduate or graduate student; whether you want full-time or part-time study; a fast track degree program; or a certificate, VCU’s School of Business is the most comprehensive in the Commonwealth.
