A Complete Education

Your Major

Whether you choose to major in marketing or international business, accounting or business, you will experience a professional education unlike any other. Through Champlain's experience-based learning approach, you will become not only knowledgeable about your field of interest, but also highly skilled in it. Our focus on hands-on learning combined with our extensive range of professional opportunities position you for a lifetime of successes.

The Core

Champlain's integrated interdisciplinary Core — a common experience for all traditional undergraduate students — provides for the general education dimension of Champlain's distinctive multi-dimensional, interdisciplinary approach to higher education. No matter which Division of Business major you choose, as a business person operating in global marketplace, your career success will depend on your abilities to think critically, to write carefully, to integrate personal, social, historical, political, economic, aesthetic and global understanding into a professional world view.

LEAD (Life Experience and Action Dimension)

Woven into your work in your professional major and the Core is a common thread that prepares you for a lifetime of fruitful transitions: the Life Experience and Action Dimension (LEAD). Through the LEAD program, you learn by doing and you grow by experiencing. Being a successful member of any business community, building and maintaining a stellar reputation means you need to know how to manage — not just a business, process or workload, but yourself and your life. The primary components of LEAD — self-assessment, community involvement, financial sophistication and career management — help you develop your ability to handle money wisely, to forge and sustain strong relationships, to manage your career, and to set personal professional goals and have the tools to move them ever forward. Each one of these competencies will give you a head start on your life, and will form the foundation of your reputation in business.
