Another exciting new initiative at Shepherd University is the creation of a School of Business to open in the 2017-2018 academic year. The new school will include majors in Business Administration, Economics and Finance, and Accounting, as well as the university’s MBA program.
Business 2020, a public-private partnership led by the Shepherd University Foundation is raising private gifts from alumni, community friends and regional businesses. The initial goal of $600,000 will provide funding over the next five years to support the creation of a School of Business. Dr. Ben Martz will lead the strategic planning to strengthen the program and attract new students. Every gift made toward this initiative will make a significant impact!
