The School of Business emphasizes all these areas. Students receive rigorous academic training through the School's programs in Accounting, Economics and Finance, Information and Decision Sciences, Management and Marketing. These specific programs, combined with Montclair State's broad liberal arts curriculum, are designed to produce business graduates with a strong technological background, as well as the ability to communicate clearly and think critically. School of Business faculty members lead a variety of research centers, including the Center for International Business, the Center for Regional Business and the Center for Economic Research on Africa. These centers conduct research, publish papers and host conferences, workshops and seminars in which students can participate.
Computers play an important role in the business curriculum.
Partridge Hall, home of the School of Business, contains two computer labs and two fully wired classrooms. The greater metropolitan New York City area is the headquarters for countless companies in financial services, telecommunications, accounting, petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, and many other industries. These corporations offer business students many exciting opportunities for internships, as well as full-time employment.
