About Business and Economics
The business and economics department prepares students for successful business careers by providing the theoretical underpinnings needed to understand the complexities of local and global markets and the practical experience needed to get a job after graduation.
Our classes are led by professors who have years of experience in their fields. We emphasize learning by doing, as well, helping students find internships that will widen their experiences, bolster their resumes and make them more competitive in the job market.
Additionally, we offer unique opportunities like the MBA 4+1 Program, which allows JSC students who have completed certain foundation courses to earn their MBA from Clarkson College in Potsdam, NY in just one year. You can also participate in international exchange programs to help you gain experience in other cultures and give you an advantage in the increasingly global marketplace.
Our department's mission is to prepare you for the 21st century business environment, where you can live in Vermont and compete on the global stage. We believe in the power of education to transform lives. We care that you succeed. We believe in learning by doing. We will help you find your passion. Learn with us; work with us; be more than you imagined.
