School of Business

The UConn School of Business prepares students to lead in a changing economy through rigorous academics, relevant research, and hands-on learning. Across the School, students gain the knowledge, experience, and professional connections that help them succeed in the classroom, in the workplace, and in their communities.

Support from alumni and friends helps accelerate that impact. Philanthropy expands access to opportunity, strengthens innovative teaching and research, and creates the kinds of experiences that prepare students to lead with skill, judgment, and purpose.

“Support for the UConn School of Business is an investment in our students and in the future they will help build. Every gift helps create opportunity, strengthen our programs, and prepare graduates to lead with confidence and purpose.”

-Interim Dean, Greg Reilly
