The School of Business equips students with access to modern technology and laboratories, including the Business Analytics and Research Lab, Forensic Analytics Lab and Banking and Finance Lab. With our Business Analytics and Research Lab, students are able to learn the skills needed to excel in the 21st century workplace and bring opportunities to students and faculty to collaborate with area businesses to solve real-world problems. The Banking and Finance Lab bridges classroom learning with practical experience, helping students develop a strong foundation in banking operations, financial markets, risk management, and investment analysis. The Forensic Analytics Lab equips business students with essential skills to detect, investigate, and prevent financial fraud and corporate misconduct. It serves as a bridge between theory and practice, offering hands-on experience with real-world data and analytical tools used in today's business environments.
