Overview

Trinity’s AACSB-accredited Michael Neidorff School of Business graduates an average of 150 business majors per year. The School offers B.S. degrees in Accounting, Business Analytics, Finance, Human Resource Management, International Business, and Marketing, in addition to a B.A. in Business Administration for students pursuing a second major.

Housed in the newly renovated Chapman Center, the Michael Neidorff School of Business features state-of-the-art facilities to spur discovery, excellence, and inclusion. After undergoing a $33 million renovation over the past year, its reopening this fall represents one of the final brush strokes in Trinity’s bold envisioning of its future. With dedicated work spaces for each department in the School, the new Chapman Center supports faculty’s teaching and scholarship. In particular, the Department of Business Administration’s Behavioral Research Lab provides faculty with the resources to test ideas, foster productive collaborations with other faculty, and offer a training laboratory for students.

The Sport Management program is an interdisciplinary minor that educates students about the diverse social, historical, and managerial aspects of sports. Through an interdisciplinary, experiential approach, graduates gain a broad and intensive understanding of sports’ impact and place in society.
