Business & Accounting @ RMC

We Educate Leaders

If you envision yourself in the corporate world, as an entrepreneur, or as a leader in a non-profit organization, RMC prepares you to realize your dream.

Our business program is different from others because it has a liberal arts foundation. This assures that every student not only masters the area of their business concentration, but also becomes skilled in leadership, communication, and reasoning. Graduates leave RMC equipped with the tools that enable them to be effective problem solvers, ready to face the challenges of an ever-changing business environment. Business management graduates enjoy a placement rate of nearly 100 percent. Students who elect not to take positions following graduation successfully pursue advanced degrees such as a master's of business administration, master's of accountancy, or law degree.

"Being a Business/Accounting major at RMC is amazing. The mentoring and close working relationships with the professors really goes a long way. You get more than just one-on-one. It's more like one-on-ten because you have peers that you grow with in the program until graduation. So, there are always many hands to help you out. It's a whole different vibe and it's great."

Effective Internships

"I interned as an Insurance Broker Assistant. It was an important step for me because it was a hands-on look at how things are after university. I interacted regularly with clients and underwriters regarding policies, explained coverages and liabilities to agents and clients, managed all company correspondence, and developed a professional rapport with clients and colleagues. It’s important to go through an internship before entering the workforce to be prepared for the actualities of a career."
