School of Business

Led by a faculty whose foremost concern is student success, students learn in their classes and from a wide range of extracurricular activities through which they develop skills in communication, analysis and team work; compete in global discipline-focused case competitions; invest real money in real time and experience what it means to lead responsibly. Our most recent 96% career placement rate is testimony to our unique combination of academics, activities and professional development that together make “The Quinnipiac Difference.”

What Current Students Say See All 13 Comments >

Everything at Quinnipiac is personalized. Because we are such a close-knit school, you have a personal relationship with your professors and they reach out to you with things like internships they feel would fit our personal career goals, and things of that nature. Quinnipiac doesn't even offer classes that are not taught by a professor. I never had a class where my teacher did not know my name. I came to Quinnipiac because it was a small school, but I never expected to have such a great environment as this.
