Transylvania's Business and Economics Division offers learning opportunities not always found at a liberal arts college.
In addition to the division's majors, the general courses required of all Transylvania students let you gain a well-rounded education in traditional liberal arts like political science, English, drama, and psychology, among many others. As a result, you will graduate with a broad liberal education, a firm foundation in your business or economics major, and specialized preparation for a particular business career.
This combination of solid business training in a liberal arts environment reflects contemporary trends in business and economics, in which employers are looking beyond technical training to hire thoughtful people talented in critical writing and analytical thinking.
Majors available within this division are accounting, business administration, and economics.
Transylvania's broad-based accounting curriculum will prepare you to collect complex financial data, analyze that information, and communicate it to others.
Accounting students at Transylvania have access to a broad range of research and internship possibilities, as well as excellent career opportunities.
Students participate in field trips to local businesses to meet with managers and discuss their operations and accounting procedures. They also assist professors with research, participate in community service, and obtain internships with area businesses and accounting firms.

A distinguishing characteristic of the program is the opportunity to specialize in one of four subject areas: management, marketing, finance, or hospitality management. All of these concentrations give students the analytic and strategic skills necessary for policy formulation and business management in many different industries.
