Overview

Students and faculty in the Economics program of Rockford University work together to examine the concerns of business and not-for-profit organizations in a dynamic and ever-changing world. We also examine the ethical, political, and social issues arising from the workings of our business world.

Our courses are centered on collaborative learning, case studies, community-based learning, and internships. Our Bloomberg Business Lab, gives students access to 11 state-of-the-art financial trading terminals and learn hands-on financial applications. Our faculty are not only recognized academic scholars, but also bring with them corporate experience. These are all opportunities for students to make course lessons their own, to match theory with practice. This blend of theory and practical application allows our students to obtain the tools that are imperative for long-term career success within the business realm.

We want students to develop an understanding of the economy and society in which they live so that they can become effective participants in that society. Education for life and civic engagement are the ultimate goals of majoring in economics, business and accounting at Rockford University.
