The mission of the Thiel College Arthur McGonigal Department of Business Administration and Accounting is to prepare our department majors to be successful professionals in the increasingly competitive business environment or as students in graduate programs.

Majors offered are accounting, business administration, international business, and business communication. Also offered are an AA degree in accounting, minors in accounting, business administration, and economics, and a special cooperative program in mortuary science. Our department enrolls more than 40% of the college's student body. Faculty members have practical experience which enables them to share both theory and actual practices with their students. The entrepreneurial spirit is strongly emphasized by the department also. Our departmental graduates are highly successful at securing first-time employment and advancing rapidly in their careers.
