Welcome from the Division Chair

The Jones Division of Business is providing our students an innovative, exciting and challenging undergraduate degree program. Today's business climate is changing rapidly, and our professional faculty not only keeps pace with this change, but they bring years of classroom and practical experience to our programs. Nearly all have been business leaders, having served as a business or corporate executive prior to joining our faculty — and this is a major advantage for our students.

We strive to educate future leaders with an intense emphasis on communication, global awareness, analytical thinking and leadership skills. Focus is placed on preparing our graduates to deal with, and work in, the many dynamic changes facing today's business world.

Majors are currently available in Finance, Business Administration, Accounting, and Sport Administration.

So, welcome to the University of Charleston and the Jones Division of Business! You will find our faculty members ready to assist you every step of the way in your journey to your undergraduate degree.
