Want to be prepared for your dream career? Study a mix of business and the liberal arts through our Business Concentration Major. Here, you can get the skills you need — creativity, strategic thinking, and problem solving — to become a student who stands out!
Siena's Stack Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship empowers students to bring their business ideas to life. Through the biannual Spark Tank pitch competition, students present innovative concepts to a panel of judges, competing for seed funding. This hands-on experience fosters creativity, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving, preparing Siena business students for success in an evolving business landscape.
All students enrolled in the business concentration major will complete the capstone course, Organizational Strategy, where they apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. In Spring 2024, senior Eliana Orlic and her team developed a strategic business plan proposal for McDonald's Corporation which they presented to local business leaders and CEOs.

In the Spring of 2024, students utilized the construction of Nobel Hall to examine the process involved in managing a wide variety of projects, the skills associated with completing them, and the stakeholders involved.
