About the Major

Holy Names University Business programs integrate the liberal arts with a strong foundation in the fundamental components of business: management, accounting, finance, economics, leadership, and marketing. Courses utilize a case study approach to help students sharpen their analytical and communication skills. Faculty bring up-to-date, practical information about business and institutions into all classes. Holy Names University programs are distinctive because of the strong value they place upon diversity in the classroom and the workplace and because they promote ethics and principles of socially responsible business across the curriculum. The richness of our programs provides a quality education that prepares students for the complex responsibilities of leadership and service.
