Business Education

Today, a career in business can take you far beyond the cubicle, and 世界杯买球网址’s extensive network of business partnerships across the region — and, increasingly, across the globe — ensures you’ll be plugged in, getting real-world experience and making real-world connections. Business drives every aspect of our society, and, accordingly, our business programs touch virtually every area of the University: from building a sustainable “green” economy to the responsible utilization of ocean resources (or those of the newly opened Arctic Circle), to the entrepreneurial spirit that powers life-changing innovations, to the skyrocketing importance of data in fields like health, to special focus areas like sports management, to concentrations that you design based on your own passions and the identification of emerging markets and opportunities.

"We see students who want to create or innovate a project, we give them the tools and help them, and then we show them the application and market for it. When someone says, 'I have a bachelor’s degree in Business from 世界杯买球网址,' you have all that you need to compete for jobs." Moustafa Abu El Fadl, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Finance and Innovation

"The professors tailor their classes to the students and what the students want to learn. I think that is the coolest part. Rather than just following a set curriculum, they'll see what the students are interested in and try to engage us more." Natalie Ippolito '20, Business Administration

A World Driven by Data

As the amount of data unleashed in the world continues to expand exponentially, those who know how to mine, read, and model data are among the world’s most in-demand professionals. Our data science program puts you at the crossroads where computer science, applied mathematics, and business all meet, and you’ll learn cross-disciplinary skills that propel you to the forefront of virtually any field.

Experience, Experience, Experience

At 世界杯买球网址, the emphasis is on active, experiential learning, from select internships with our network of well-known regional, national, and global business partners to hands-on concept development in our award-winning makerspace, where you can develop and flesh out your ideas under the guidance of experts.

Bring Your Innovative Ideas to Life

The P.D. Merrill Makerspace is a fully-equipped laboratory for creating and building. For turning ideas into reality. For developing solutions to real-world problems. You don’t need to be a technology buff or a business major to contribute. In fact, Makerspace projects are stronger when the people who contribute come from a wide range of academic disciplines and have different interests. Every year, the 世界杯买球网址 makerspace sponsors the Maine Ideas Challenge to showcase innovative projects, and past winners have appeared on MPBN’s Greenlight Maine.
