The Donald J.

The school is the region's center for the advancement of sound business practice, championing principles and methods that contribute to a thriving northeast Wisconsin. Aside from the many undergraduate business courses taught by its faculty, the school also has an MBA program offering three concentrations: business, health-care management, and supply chain and manufacturing.
