Analyze … Decide … Lead
The Albion College Economics and Management (E&M) Department provides students with an understanding of economic and management principles that will be useful throughout their careers. We address both the immediate application of problem-solving techniques and the conceptual basis for those techniques. Our curriculum includes more economic theory than is typical in undergraduate business programs, providing solid preparation for those who aspire to attend a selective M.B.A. program or to advance into jobs requiring strong analytical skills. We also offer more courses related to business than is typical in undergraduate economics programs, making Albion College a top choice for
students who want to experience a small liberal arts college environment while also improving their prospects for a good job in business immediately after graduation.
Albion E&M graduates generally go on to careers in business, law, or government. Many eventually attend M.B.A. programs (often after some post-B.A. work experience), law schools, other professional schools, or graduate schools.
We offer both an 8-course E&M major and several variants of a more intensive 10-course E&M major with emphasis (areas of emphasis include accounting, economics, finance, general business, and human resources).
In addition, the Carl A. Gerstacker Institute for Business and Management offers a special opportunity to combine academic study with work experience. The Gerstacker Institute provides for two internships (or a combination of an internship and international study) while still allowing students to graduate in four years. This selective admission program is one of the best undergraduate business and management programs available at a small college.
