Business & Economics Department

Our department strives to provide students with a complete understanding of the knowledge, skills and opportunities they'll need to be successful in a professional setting for the rest of their lives. Since 2014, it's been named one of the country's Great Schools for Business/Finance Majors by The Princeton Review.

The Review was quick to quote the perspective of Roanoke College's leadership: "The real attraction for students is what happens in the classroom. Roanoke's fine faculty members create a learning environment for our students that is second to none."
