The ACBSP-accredited Lundy-Fetterman School of Business at Campbell University offered its first business course in 1892. With years of experience comes a depth of knowledge in preparing business leaders to find success in their competitive industry of choice. The School of Business is committed to “service over self,” and living and leading with purpose, encouragement, commitment, innovation, moral behavior, meaning, and forward-thinking. The Free Enterprise System is interwoven throughout every degree program. Faculty and staff members are not only instructors and professors, but experts in the professional industry and mentors to the students.

Business international internships exist in Chile and Spain.
Student Life
Many student clubs exist to enhance student engagement, leadership development, and community service. Business clubs include the Accounting & Financial Planning Club, Females Associated with Business, Gilbert T. Stephenson Trust Club, Healthcare Management Club, Marketing Club, Professional Golf Management Student Association, and the Social Entrepreneurship Club. Other clubs consist of culture-specific, sports, religious, and other interest groups. Internships with companies like NASA, Fidelity Bank, Apex Systems, Verizon, and Diversified Solutions are highly encouraged and hugely beneficial for each student.
There are countless service projects that business students can get involved in, like Relay for Life, Christmas Angel Tree, the Annual Business Week School Supply Drive, and Truck or Treat. These events fall in line with the mission to place service over oneself. An excellent way for students to learn and engage with the local business community is through HQ Raleigh. It is an “entrepreneurial hub and accelerator” located downtown which incorporates entrepreneurial experiments, presentations, workshops, and workspace shared by Campbell students and the community.
