Business Management
The mission of the Business major is consistent with that of the College, which aims at educating a socially and economically diverse student population by fostering intellectual achievement with personal growth. The mission is accomplished by providing our students the necessary skills with which to build successful careers in business, government and not-for-profit institutions, and by providing them a strong academic base for continuing education, including professional development, graduate study, and lifelong learning


Since Marymount Manhattan College is located in the hub of the world's largest financial and industrial complex, many of our students find unique opportunities to earn while they learn. Whether they participate in the internships available through the college, or pursue individual employment, their career exposure enriches their academic experience.

The Business Management faculty and staff have solid credentials in their respective disciplines and extensive industry background. In addition to their dedication to excellence in teaching, our faculty contribute to professional associations, pursue research, present papers at conferences, publish journal articles and books, and consult for businesses and nonprofit organizations.
