Curriculum Overview

Our largest major allows you to pair your passion for business — marketing, management, accounting, quantitative finance and beyond — with a concentration of your choice, from the arts, to engineering, to computer science. In addition to being recruited by some of the largest Fortune 500 companies, like Goldman Sachs, Deloitte, KPMG and Citi, B&T graduates go on to manage their own entrepreneurial ventures.

All students pursuing a major in Business & Technology complete two concentrations — one in business and another in technology.
