You often hear that The W is a special place, and it is!&nbsp; Its traditions, commitment to academic excellence, small teacher-to-student ratio; as well as its incredibly beautiful, historic campus contribute to a truly special learning environment.&nbsp; In fact, it has been said that The W is a public university that feels much like a private college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At The W, student success lies at the heart of everything we do. First and foremost, The W emphasizes teaching and learning. Our faculty members bring years of real-world experience and excellent academic qualifications to the classroom and are known for being approachable and helpful to all students.&nbsp; At The W, students benefit from small classes, close interaction with engaged faculty, personalized advising, and interactions with high achieving peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faculty in the Department of Business believe in an interactive learning experience with the inclusion of real-world experience in the classroom.&nbsp; Students have opportunities to work on consulting projects with local businesses, business simulation games, and case study.&nbsp; Our professors also welcome local business leaders into their classroom to share their experience with our students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The business discipline is a broad field with a variety of potential career opportunities. That is why we offer a variety of concentrations to best support individual interests and career goals. We also know that balancing school, work, and family obligations can be a challenge, which is why we offer flexible learning options to suit the needs of every student.&nbsp; Whether you prefer to immerse yourself in the face-to-face classroom or need the flexibility of learning online, The W\u2019s Department of Business has options available to you. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On behalf of the faculty and staff here in the Department of Business at MUW, we look forward to meeting and working with you to build your academic and professional future.
