Enrollment in the major has grown steadily since its inception, as has its recognition by academia and business and the number of options available to students. The undergraduate major combines a solid foundation in business topics with a liberal arts education. Every student takes courses throughout the University and in the Harriman School. Leaders in all economic sectors urge business students to broaden their understanding of the world by exploring non-business subjects. Business throughout the world is intertwined with government.
Business affects social change and is influenced by it.
It adapts to cultures and alters them. It develops technology and is driven by it, and it must respond to changing economic conditions while contributing to those changes. The Business Management major, combined with Stony Brook's liberal arts education, prepares you to manage effectively in the world's competitive marketplaces.
