UMSL Business: Always Growing
For more than 50 years UMSL Business has educated the business professionals of St. Louis and the Midwest. UMSL graduates make up more of the St. Louis workforce than those of any other university, and we are the only university in the nation with a Fortune 25 corporation headquartered on its campus. In fact, UMSL boasts two graduates who serve as CEOs of Fortune 25 corporations. UMSL Business is always evolving to meet the needs of our students and to better prepare you for career success. Here is just a sampling of what is going on in the college:
- Nearly 300 UMSL Business students graduate each year and join our growing body of alumni over 27,000 strong. In fact, UMSL boasts the largest alumni network in the region.
- Based on a 2015 survey by UMSL Career Services, 100 percent of accounting and 92.5 percent of all business undergraduate alumni have jobs or are pursuing a graduate degree within six months of graduation.
- Phase one of UMSL’s first-ever dedicated business building, Anheuser-Busch Hall, is complete. This new space brings teaching and administration under one roof and gives students easy access to advising, state of the art classrooms and plenty of collaboration space.
- As part of the UMSL Accelerate program, we continue to expand offerings in entrepreneurship education including cross-disciplinary courses in business and social entrepreneurship. The Accelerate recently launched an innovative, grant-funded program to attract entrepreneurs from around the world to grow businesses in St. Louis. And, UMSL is engaged with the UM Entrepreneurial Scholars Internship Program which offers students mentorship and funding to get their ideas off the ground.
