"The faculty at IU really go above and beyond to encourage their students to have a love of learning that we can carry through the rest of our lives. In addition to giving us a deep understanding of business practices and principles, the faculty instill in us an eagerness to learn and the courage to be beginners, which are essential traits in the ever-evolving business world. The faculty support their students not just as future business leaders, but as individuals who have the ability to leave their unique impact on their communities. I believe that the genuine interest that the faculty take in us students has given us the confidence to go into our careers as more intelligent, caring and motivated professionals."

Immaculata University’s Business, Fashion and Leadership Department, where the business management major resides, develops ethical, service-oriented business leaders for the global community. This ethical foundation is particularly important in preparation for a career in business.

Within Chester County lies the Great Valley Corporate Center and world-renowned businesses and organizations such as QVC, Vanguard, Longwood Gardens and AmerisourceBergen, a Fortune 500 company. Students can gain practical experience collaborating in real-world problem-solving situations during their internships right in Immaculata’s backyard or Center City Philadelphia. With smaller class sizes, students also regularly give class presentations and work on group projects: all valuable skills for the business world.

In addition, students can participate in the Business Club, which tours local companies to learn about business operations. Students also gain valuable knowledge from successful business professionals who serve as guest presenters.

Every industry needs business leaders! Some possible fields that graduates can pursue include: operations analyst, planning/project manager, customer service manager, meeting and convention planner, fundraiser, sales representative, administrative services manager, or entrepreneur, to name a few.

In addition, a business management degree prepares you for graduate work in a number of fields or for further training as a certified financial planner (CFP), a chartered financial consultant (ChFC), or a chartered financial analyst (CFA). Many of our students pursue dual majors or minors in finance, accounting, marketing or economics to add depth to their career opportunities.

Our recent alumni have been hired at Vanguard, GE Aviation, SEI Investments, KPMG, Discover Financial Services, Mass Mutual and more.
