Built on the general education foundation informed by Saint Martin's Catholic Benedictine heritage and values, the School of Business offers a unified business program that integrates the separate functional areas of business. Acknowledging the technological innovation, ever-changing global marketplace and challenged eco-systems currently shaping the world, the Business Administration Program offers students an opportunity to learn and practice general management skills, discover the need for ethical decision-making and acquire functional business area expertise. Through practice and active learning, students also gain the ability to work cooperatively in diverse teams. They become effective writers and speakers, and they demonstrate sharpened critical thinking skills and professional judgment. Students graduate with a broad perspective on the business world and its place in our culture. Saint Martin's graduates have the ability to work across business functions, adjust quickly to new situations, accept change and ambiguity as a natural part of life, and become enthusiastic lifelong learners.
