With a combination of innovative new programs and fundamental business coursework, the School of Management at Binghamton University offers its students a state of the art business education. Our finance majors have access to the Zurack Trading Room, a modern trading facility where they learn to manage a real money portfolio. Budding business owners can participate in our Entrepreneurship program and compete for real start-up funding. Case competitions sponsored by major corporations challenge our seniors to evaluate business problems in front of real-world executives. All these combine to provide SOM graduates with the tools and skills needed in today's global business environment.
Our incoming freshmen and transfer students are among the best in their schools and current students chose BU over such competing schools as Cornell, NYU, Michigan State, University of Maryland, UMASS, Boston University and Penn State as well as other SUNY colleges and university centers. SOM is the most competitive admission at Binghamton and one of the toughest in the SUNY system.
We offer a modern academic facility with multimedia classrooms, an up-to-date computer lab and a state of the art Zurack trading room. Our courses are taught by doctoral qualified faculty and professionally-qualified business executives. Advisement is conducted from a student friendly advising office where advisors are always available without the necessity of appointments to ensure prompt attention to academic questions and to facilitate exploration of internship and study abroad opportunities. Career development and placement activities are coordinated by the university's Career Development Center which provides workshops and events for students as early as freshman year and by SOM’s Placement Director who conducts professional development activities while facilitating visits to SOM by major recruiters. Placement compares very favorably with our peer schools. Student organizations are also invaluable resources for career exploration. SOM faculty are always available to discuss opportunities in the various management disciplines and can offer guidance on career options, write letters of recommendation, and generally help students make connections in their fields.
