The Siena College School of Business has a reputation as a top business school in the Capital Region of New York and beyond. In fact, our AACSB accreditation is a distinction given to very few schools—schools considered to be the best business programs in the world.

 I believe we have earned this exceptional recognition through:

  • First-class undergraduate and graduate business majors!  We have undergraduate majors in Accounting, Business Analytics, Economics, Finance, Management and Marketing, and our  customizable Business Major that allows students to combine concentrations in two business disciplines. We also offer an interdisciplinary Health Administration Track within the B.A. in Health Studies. At the graduate level, we offer an MS in Accounting​, an MBA with concentrations in Business Analytics, Finance, Marketing, and Strategic Management​, and Advanced Professional Certificates in Data and Analytics and in Fraud and Digital Forensics​.
  • Exceptional minors in Business, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Healthcare Management, Human Resource Development, Management and Marketing.
  • Faculty committed to teaching and involving students in groundbreaking research.
  • Access to the same technology used by Fortune 500 companies and other top organizations including a stock trading room with Bloomberg terminals and a marketing research lab.
  • Internship opportunities that deliver real-world experience and often lead to job offers.
  • A network of successful alumni dedicated to aiding fellow Siena graduates in their career development.
  • Focus on ethical, responsible business and management practices consistent with Siena’s Catholic Franciscan Tradition.

In addition to our unrivaled academic programs, the factor that truly differentiates us is our complete commitment to providing the best possible educational experience for our students. That commitment starts during recruitment and continues well past graduation. Believe me, these are not just words to us; they are guiding principles for all our activities and programs. I invite you to explore our website and contact me via email, phone or even stop by my office to learn more about the School of Business. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

All the best,
Katherine
