Sigmund Weis School of Business

Welcome to the Sigmund Weis School of Business at Susquehanna University!

Our program focuses on students, and our mission speaks to engaging and preparing them for successful lives of achievement and service. Business majors enjoy the richness of a traditional liberal arts college, receive a broad managerial foundation, and learn technical skills that enable them to contribute immediately to the organizations they join upon graduation. In a word, we offer opportunity.

Please consider:

The Sigmund Weis School is accredited by AACSB International. We are only a handful of private,exclusively undergraduate programs to earn this benchmark of quality. Click here for a Flash Presentation of the value of AACSB Accreditation.

Our graduates are sophisticated users of software applications and information technology for management decisions. All business students complete 12 semester hours of course work in Information Technology, more than twice what is typically required in other undergraduate business programs.

Most of our graduates are comfortable in international environments and prepared for the global business community. During their junior year, more than half of the business majors participate in our semester-long London Program. Many others study abroad at universities around the world. And, Susquehanna offers several short-term programs in Australia, Costa Rica, Belize, and other countries.

Students gain valuable professional experience in our Internship Program. Over seventy percent of business majors complete at least one paid summer internship experience, within commuting distance of home, in major U.S. metropolitan areas, and even in Europe. These internships often lead to full-time offers upon graduation.

Students also get to meet and learn from our Executives in Residence. Recent guest executives have included the President of Duracell, the Chief Financial Officer of Aetna Insurance, and a Governor of the Federal Reserve System. Many of our alumni also visit the campus as guest speakers. In New York City, our alumni organize a major networking reception for business majors each spring.

Several active student clubs enable business students to develop leadership skills, pursue new opportunities, and continue their learning outside of their courses. Our Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) group has won national honors in each of the past two years, and the Accounting, Investment, and Marketing Clubs feature guest executives, team competitions, and trips to national meetings.

Business students at Susquehanna enjoy a new, high-tech learning environment in the very centrally located Apfelbaum Hall. The building features three computer labs, five team study rooms, classrooms with state-of-the-art instructional technology, two student lounges and high-speed wireless connectivity throughout. Apfelbaum Hall is also the location of most business faculty offices and the office of the Dean.
