Business & Economics - Johnson

Faculty / Staff

The Northern Vermont University-Johnson Department of Business & Economics offers three concentrations within the B.S. degree in Business Administration:

• Hospitality and Tourism Management
• Management
• Sport Management

Through coursework and internships with businesses and organizations, students gain skills and knowledge needed to succeed as owners and leaders in business and finance. Coursework and practicums focus on planning, organizational structure, leadership, human resources, marketing and financial management.

Also available is a two-year (A.S.) degree in Business Administration; minors in Business and Marketing; and three certificate programs (see more information below).

Masters of Business Administration Articulation Agreement between NVU-Johnson & Clarkson University

NVU-Johnson students who plan their undergraduate program carefully are able to earn their Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) from Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York, in only one year. If NVU-Johnson students include the courses that serve as a foundation for the M.B.A. program, they are able to eliminate the need for up to one year of Clarkson’s two-year program. In this way, a student could earn both an undergraduate degree from Northern Vermont University and an M.B.A. from Clarkson in just five years.  Interested students should see the Business & Economics Department Chairperson.
