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 will begin taking major coursework in their first term 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. The business school's Bachelor of Business Administration degrees are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), providing a testament to their quality and focus on excellence in teaching that prepares students for productive careers. 

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. Four of the Master of Science programs are also accredited by ACBSP. 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.
