Program Overview
Business students at Judson University can choose from one of three majors: Accounting, Management, or Marketing. These are the three functional areas of every business. Our curriculum is designed to provide students with business practices, applicable projects, and professional experiences that will enhance their understanding of the operations of business and not-for-profit organizations.
Business students share a common core of business courses, such as, economics, business law, corporate finance, business communications, and foundational courses. Many of our students opt to double major in two or more of our majors and/or earn a minor or certificate.
Students may also choose to earn a minor in business, marketing or finance. We also offer certificates in Social Media Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Hospitality and Event Planning, Human Resource Management, and Nonprofit Marketing and Management.

A Personal Approach
Our Business Department offers a unique opportunity for you to develop personal relationships with our faculty. This rare experience at the university level translates to increased opportunity inside and outside of the classroom.
While the most obvious opportunities include taking advantage of the faculty’s professional relationships for networking and career development, you can also be closely involved in academic program development, research, and creating new initiatives within the university.
Beyond the Classroom
With small class sizes and a personal approach to the classroom, we offer a quality education. But all the opportunities outside the classroom add to each student’s appreciation for God’s gifts. You can extend your educational experiences by participating in our business clubs, entrepreneurial initiatives, service projects, or practicum experiences.
Internships and Experimental Learning
Judson’s business students are prepared for the business environment by “trying it out” through one of our many internship opportunities.
