About the School and Majors
The UW-Platteville School of Business (PSB) prepares students for successful careers in a dynamic global environment by offering a wide range of courses and programs in business, accounting, economics, and entrepreneurship. Most of these courses may also be completed online. Unlike many other business schools across the country, undergraduate students at UW-Platteville may begin taking major coursework in their first year of college. Additionally, PSB's focus on active and applied learning in conjunction with a high degree of faculty support and interaction ensures that students are well-prepared to immediately add value to an organization. Lastly, PSB students are urged to participate in one or more of the school’s professionally-affiliated student organizations such as Accounting and Finance Club, ASCM (supply chain management), SHRM (human resource management), and AMA (marketing and sales).
The School of Business also offers a portfolio of specialized Master of Science programs that can be completed entirely online. The goal of these programs is to prepare for further career advancement or retooling skill sets into a new business-related domain. Further information on these and other graduate programs offered by our university may be found at https://www.uwplatt.edu/department/professional-program-support/online-programs.
