Research.com is a leading educational platform that helps students find the best schools and degree programs to meet their specific needs.
The Mount’s School of Business offers a variety of majors, including Accounting, Business Management and Administration, Healthcare Management, and Sports Management. The programs are accredited by the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE), ensuring that the curriculum meets rigorous professional standards.
This recognition comes during a period of significant growth for the School of Business. Students now have access to the newly inaugurated Joseph F.
