Department of Business Management

Department of Business Management views business as the active liberal art, with ethics and social responsibility central to corporate success.  Our graduates make positive impacts in the world. They enter as leaders in traditional business venues such as finance, accounting, and marketing, and in other organizational contexts like government, law, and non-profit organizations. No matter where their careers take them, our graduates reflect Washington College's values of critical thinking, effective communication, and moral courage.  The diverse backgrounds of our talented faculty of teacher-scholars and practitioners echo the global nature of business.

Learning in the classroom is only the beginning.  Rigorous classes ready you to participate in a wide range of real-world experiences and settings, including an award-winning student-managed investment fund program with a $2 million portfolio, internships, our summer study abroad program, student-designed experiential projects, faculty-student research, and more.  And there’s funding available to help you achieve your goals.  

Our major can be combined with any other major or minor offered at Washington College. In fact, at Washington College, Business Management majors can not only aspire to Sigma Beta Delta, the International Business Honor Society, they can also aspire to Phi Beta Kappa, the pre-eminent honor society for students pursuing a liberal education. We also offer six minors in business-related sectors, and contribute courses to three interdisciplinary minors.
