Academic departments in the College of Business
The Department of Accounting, Finance, and Economics offer two out of five of the most
in demand degrees according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
Accounting provides the information necessary for evaluating the present and planned
activities of complex organizations. Finance can be defined as the art and science
of managing money. The field of finance is integral to almost every facet of business
enterprise.
The Department of Management and Marketing offer two out of five of the most in demand degrees according to the National Association
of Colleges and Employers. The objective of the Management major is to expose business
students to the challenges and varied opportunities of a managerial career. Marketing is
more than just selling products. It involves identifying new needs in the Company's
target markets, and helping design new products to meet these needs.
I love the College of Business and all of the faculty and staff for encouraging and
supporting my dreams and goals. I also appreciate the diligence of our advisors in
finding opportunities for students to expand our practical knowledge.

The work ethic I developed at Austin Peay allowed me to compete with (my law school
classmates). I feel like Austin Peay prepared me to go to the next level, and without
the huge burden of debt some of my classmates had.
