BUSINESS & LEADERSHIP The Department of Business and Leadership encompasses a broad number of business offerings. Sharpen your business skills and technological expertise through hands-on learning at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. As a business major, you will build on the Woods Core (Pg. 9), develop critical thinking, communication and leadership skills, learn cutting edge technology and gain a strong business foundation in a small, collaborative classroom environment.

Leadership is a golden thread that aligns with our institutional values. Leadership applies to any field and a leadership minor can be added to any major at whatever level you want to lead – a minor, masters or Ph.D.

Possible Career Paths: Regardless of your passions, a business degree can help. The ability to make a living or be a #soloprenuer from your passions = independence. Even if you choose a different major, adding a minor in business will give you the fundamentals you’ll

need throughout your career. • Personal Financial Advisor • Advertising • Digital Marketing • Healthcare Administrator • Director of Human Resources

• Marketing Research • Logistics Manager • Procurement Manager • Entrepreneur • Supply Chain Manager

“The Business and Leadership faculty all have industry experience. We have lived, practiced AND studied in our fields of expertise. Small classrooms are the feature, but the reality is having a personal connection with people leading you through the education journey. Not just in front of you, but beside you. You develop a trust with the faculty that goes beyond the classroom. My favorite class to teach is business law. I had a student who was a federal worker and told me they were the first person in their area to pass the test on contract law the first time. They said, ‘Your class got me my first promotion!’”
