School of Business

I am pleased to welcome you to the School of Business at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Our vision is “to be recognized for developing highly skilled professionals that shape the global business environment in an ethical, inclusive, responsible, and innovative manner.” We do that through the academic programs offered in accessible formats as well as though the thought leadership our faculty provide in their academic disciplines. As you peruse our website, I encourage you to view the publications section of our website to keep up to date on the latest School of Business news and accomplishments.

The SIUE School of Business is among a select 5% of the business programs worldwide that are accredited by AACSB International—the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Additionally, we hold a separate AACSB accreditation for our accounting program, a distinction which can only be claimed by only 25% of all AACSB-accredited institutions. We are proud to be part of this exclusive and accomplished group of business schools that hold both business and accounting accreditation. Please visit the AACSB website to learn more about the standards used to ensure that we continuously monitor, improve, and offer a quality business education.

If you are a prospective student planning to join the SIUE School of Business, our website provides information on advising, academic programs, student organizations, international opportunities, and other student services that are designed to maximize your educational experience at SIUE. The School is organized into four academic departments: Accounting, Computer Management and Information Systems, Economics & Finance, and Management & Marketing.  If you are interested in the world of business, I am confident that one of our degree programs and specializations will meet your needs.

We are proud to have over 26,000 alumni leading companies and public agencies such as Bayer North America, Deloitte, Edward Jones, KPMG, SSM Health, The Federal Reserve, Union Pacific and others across the globe. Other alumni are successful entrepreneurs and civic leaders; one of our MBA alumni even finished his degree after being elected to the US House of Representatives!

Finally, the SIUE School of Business provides societal impact through continuing and executive education programs, as well as business outreach programs such as the Small Business Development Center and the International Trade Center. Additional information about the School's outreach efforts can be found in the Resources for Business section of our website.
