COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Student-centered teaching. Research. Internships here and abroad. Collaborative projects in and out of the classroom. The College of Business Administration prepares you for a world that values teamwork and excellence. Choose from among seven majors—accounting, entrepreneurial management, finance, general business administration, global business management, marketing, and supply chain management—all providing a broad perspective of domestic and global challenges, all leading to a wide array of careers. Or add one more year for a semester of study abroad and a professional internship, and graduate from our International Business Program with two degrees: a B.S. in business, and a B.A. in a foreign language. Either way, our commitment to developing strong leaders grounded in ethical management is a cornerstone of our program. Successful business people think strategically and quickly. Think big. Think like a business leader. We’ll teach you how.

Imagine being a college student with a portfolio of more than $100,000 to invest any way you see fit. In 2001, the URI Alumni Association created that portfolio—the Ram Fund—to
give advanced business students the chance to invest and manage money for the long term. Getting real-world, hands-on experience is what URI is all about.
