Business as usual doesn't change the world. People do. Discover your impact at the Stiller School of Business.

Have you ever had a great business idea but nowhere to go with it? Are you conscious of where your purchases come from and how it impacts those who make them? Have you ever wondered how a different tax system might change society?  These are the kinds of challenges you will tackle at the Stiller School of Business, and you'll explore their complexities by experiencing them firsthand. That's Business Done Better.

From preparing and filing taxes for Burlington's underserved communities to investing and managing a portion of our very own endowment at Champlain College, Stiller students graduate ready to hit the ground running and take on the responsibility of success. As an accredited ACBSP business school, a Stiller degree is a seamless combination of exceptional education and experience.

And just like the real world, you won't do it alone. Your faculty will know your name, your strengths, your interests, and your areas for improvement. They'll build your communication and collaboration skills through classes that incorporate real client-based work. As you learn by doing, you'll learn to think globally and freely, with confident curiosity.

DOING BETTER STARTS WITH DOING

Suppose you want to commercialize electric aircrafts that offset trade's carbon footprint. Or maybe find the perfect fit to help teams reach their full potential. In either case, a meaningful career starts with action.

At Stiller, you'll build your expertise, portfolio, and professional network by doing-starting on day one. Alongside the Upside-Down Curriculum, our business degree programs are designed to get our students doing real-world experiences earlier and often, with room to study (or even intern) abroad.
