Hartwick’s business administration program provides a grounding in finance, marketing, organizational behavior, accounting, information systems and business analytics and stresses mastery of the essential teamwork and presentation skills needed in the workplace. Students learn that business management involves multiple elements, in surprising mixtures, at any moment.
Beyond the core, business electives like “Social Media Marketing,” “The Business of Food,” “Leadership,” and “Negotiations” as well as access to non-business courses across the campus enable you to have a curated concierge experience unique to your own personal passions and career aspirations. Coupled with internship, fellowship, or study-abroad opportunities, this opens doors to the opportunities that await you after graduation.
Hartwick business majors get a deep hands-on understanding of how global business functions through electives like “Chinese Consumer Culture,” “International Finance,” and “Doing Business in Asia.” Then, as part of your capstone experience, majors take the reins of a virtual corporation with international manufacturing plants and customers, competing against student teams from across the world and regularly earning top honors for company performance.
The student-run DECA chapter sponsors off-campus student conference travel and on-campus visits from alumni now working across a spectrum of industries and in a wide range of industries from finance to social entrepreneurship and design consulting. They also collaborate with the College’s career center to ensure job readiness targeted to your unique career trajectory.
