Outstanding Faculty

The SOM faculty is well known for its quality research and teaching skills. SOM classes are taught only by tenure track PhD’s or professionally qualified instructors. Master’s degree students do not teach in SOM, so your instructor will always be an expert in his or her field.

Culturally diverse student population

Binghamton is nationally recognized for the diversity of its student population and the support services it offers to its American and International students.  Students from over 85 countries are represented at BU. The School of Management has several student run organizations serving different ethnicities (although culturally focused, they are open to any SOM student and are themselves quite diverse) and many other campus wide student groups serve the greater Binghamton University population.

Leading edge resources

The School houses the Zurack Trading Room where top students manage a portfolio of over $130,000 using the same trading software used by Wall Street professionals.  We are a wireless campus where you can use your laptop computer just about anywhere. In addition, there are hundreds of computers in campus computer pods accessible by students 24-7. A new Linux Laboratory allows our Management Information Systems students and their counterparts in the Computer Science program in the Watson School to assist local businesses in solving real world business problems using open source technologies.
