The School offers B.S. degrees in Accounting, Business Analytics, Finance, Human Resource Management, International Business, and Marketing, in addition to a B.A. in Business Administration for students pursuing a second major.

Housed in the newly renovated Chapman Center, the Michael Neidorff School of Business features state-of-the-art facilities to spur discovery, excellence, and inclusion. After undergoing a $33 million renovation over the past year, its re-opening this fall represents one of the final brush strokes in Trinity’s bold envisioning of its future. With dedicated work spaces for each department in the School, the new Chapman Center supports faculty’s teaching and scholarship. In particular, the Department of Business Administration’s Behavioral Research Lab provides faculty with the resources to test ideas, foster productive collaborations with other faculty, and offer a training laboratory for students.
