Get career-ready, starting on day one

Whether you’re interested in human resources, finance, operations or management, an Alverno business major will encourage you to explore how organizations work and how different roles contribute to success.

You’ll develop a diverse set of in-demand knowledge and skills that position you well for professional opportunities. Many of our students are hired before graduation because they’ve proven they have what it takes. No matter the company or role, you’ll be ready to succeed.

The Alverno difference

Alverno business majors begin preparation for their careers on day one. You’ll be immersed in experiential learning by working on real-world projects in collaboration with local business leaders and organizations. All of our business majors complete two internships, so you can explore your interests, gain professional experience and start networking to build your career.

Here, learning is for you and about you. Small class sizes provide individualized attention. You’re known by name, valued for who you are, and challenged and guided to who you want to become. Our faculty will mentor you in and outside the classroom to prepare you successfully for your future.

Our students are highly sought-after by employers. You’ll impress with your high level of analysis, sophisticated communication, and advanced critical thinking – all part of Alverno’s strong ability-based learning. These are the skills that are necessary for success and to create real lasting change.

As an Alverno business student, you will learn to:

• Analyze how the different functions of an organization interact and learn how your role brings great value to improve performance and achieve growth for an organization.
• Apply a variety of business principles to effectively develop and deliver forward-thinking solutions that advance an organization’s mission through the quality of its core products and services.
• Effectively work in diverse teams and organizations.
• Grow as a leader who can motivate and guide others to achieve client and organizational goals.

“I couldn’t have picked a better school. Everything Alverno does to encourage us to make connections and build our networks right from start has helped not be afraid to enter the real world. Everything I’ve learned and every connection I’ve made will last a lifetime.”

— Haydee, business major, class of 2020
