Message from the Dean

Our mission is to offer values oriented, intellectually stimulating educational programs that prepare students for business careers and continuing intellectual and professional development. I invite you to browse our site and experience the range of opportunities students have in the Siena College School of Business.  

Siena College has been educating business students since 1937. Nearly 15,000 business leaders have graduated from the Siena College School of  Business. With majors in accounting, economics, finance, and marketing/management, many of our graduates have reached the upper levels of management in business, nonprofit, and government organizations. 

The School of Business is committed to academic excellence and places paramount importance on teaching and learning in an atmosphere enriched by business collaboration, professional activity, and scholarship. Most of our faculty have been previously employed in business organizations. This enables our students to learn from faculty who not only have the appropriate academic credentials but also have considerable business experience. 

Technology plays a major role in business education at Siena College. All classrooms are electronically enhanced with PC’s, internet connection, VCR, and built-in projection devices. In addition, the School of Business has a Financial Technology Center that includes a Market Trading Room and Accounting Lab. These rooms enable our students to access real-time data on the financial markets as well as balance sheet data on all publicly traded companies. 

We are hopeful you will discover more about the wonderful opportunities available at Siena College in the School of Business. If you have additional questions, please contact me at Jnolan@siena.edu  

Sincerely,
