Our residential campus in Kent draws a large undergraduate population (approximately 25,000). The entrepreneurship and marketing programs offered by the department are among the most popular in the College of Business and University. Our graduate degree programs include the Ph.D., MBA, P (Professional) MBA for part-time students, and Executive MBA. All of these programs are fully accredited by AACSB – International.
