Messiah College

What you'll study

Students take a selection of business courses designed to prepare them for careers in management, marketing, finance and related fields. The curriculum combines classroom learning with experiential opportunities through Messiah's Experiential Learning Initiative (ELI), which includes internships/practica, service learning, off-campus programs, student leadership roles and undergraduate research.

Entry requirements

There are two primary entry pathways: if your undergraduate degree is housed in the Department of Business you automatically meet accelerated-program requirements. If your bachelor's degree is outside the Department of Business, you must complete the business foundations minor to satisfy prerequisites for the MBA and qualify for the accelerated track.

Career prospects

Graduates enter roles across business operations, finance, accounting, marketing, human resources, health care, data analytics, technology and government. Employers and graduate schools regularly recruit Messiah graduates; 98% of the Class of 2025 respondents were employed or in graduate school within 6–9 months of graduation.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

Messiah reports that 100% of first-year students receive financial aid. Prospective students should consult the university's financial aid office and the Career and Professional Development Center for scholarship, aid and career-planning guidance.
