Graduating students to be tomorrow’s business leaders in the region, nation and beyond
Message from the Dean: Since its founding in 1971, our College has established a tradition of excellence and a reputation as one of the premier business schools in the Mid-Atlantic Region. In 1981, we became internationally accredited by the most prestigious business accrediting agency in the world, AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. We were the first school in Pennsylvania’s System of Higher Education, and the ninth college overall in Pennsylvania, to receive this accreditation. Our mission is to deliver a high-quality, high-value, comprehensive business education that prepares students to participate and excel in a global world of business. We accomplish this by offering a rigorous curriculum in all aspects of business supported by numerous opportunities for outside the classroom high-impact learning experiences such as internships, study abroad and academic competitions. Learn more about the John L. Grove College of Business.
Your gifts to the SU Foundation in support of Grove College will help us continue to deliver an excellent, relevant, business education that produces the motivated, ethical business leaders the world needs today.
