Business students obtain a wealth of knowledge while experiencing numerous opportunities to immediately apply what they learn in a supportive and challenging environment. Faculty members bring real-life experience to the classroom and are dedicated and passionate in teaching the ACBSP-accredited curriculum while equipping every student in their path to success.

A variety of excellent business programs exist for both undergraduate and graduate students. An Associates in Information Systems & Applied Business Analytics can be completed in two years. There are Bachelors degrees in Finance, Sports Marketing, Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Business Administration & Management with Business Management and International Business tracks, Operations & Supply Chain Management, Marketing, and Information Systems & Applied Business Analytics.    

Graduate studies adequately prepare students for leadership in a variety of areas. There are MS degrees in Management, Data Analytics, and Strategic Leadership & Design; Master of Professional Studies degrees in Real Estate Development and Human Resource Development & Administration; and a Master of Business Administration degree. Students can complete the MBA in four ways: on-campus full-time in one year, on-campus part-time during the evenings, at a couple of off-campus locations, or corporately on-site with fellow employees. It now offers STEM-certified concentrations in Global Supply Chain Management, Finance, and Data Analytics, along with Organizational Leadership and Marketing Management.  

UI takes students on and provides connections to many study abroad opportunities to help students build a competitive edge. One example is the Global Business Travel Seminar required of International Business majors, but also available to MBA students, both current and former. It takes students to places like China, Thailand, India, Dubai, Brazil, England, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Vietnam for one-two weeks to meet with government agencies and groups like the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Ministry of Finance in Dubai, and IBM India.
