School of Economics and Business Administration

The School of Economics and Business Administration (SEBA) provides student-centered business and management education taught by high quality, research active faculty. Grounded in Lasallian principles and guided by the Liberal Arts tradition, we create collaborative, innovative and experiential learning and service opportunities for our students to maximize their potential as successful professionals creating a difference in their communities. SEBA is committed to the values that are central to Saint Mary’s College: academic excellence, personal integrity, ethical behavior, and respect for human dignity.

As teachers, scholars, and mentors, we offer students a rigorous, innovative, and diverse learning experience by leveraging our practice-relevant, pedagogical, and discipline-based research. The concepts drawn from the various disciplines prepare students to be successful in the highly competitive, technologically complex, politically volatile, and culturally diverse global economy of the 21st century. Consideration of the ethical implications and social responsibilities of economic activity and business enterprise is an integral part of each program.

SEBA’s curricula consist of coherent groups of courses that balance analytical skills with critical thinking, theory with practice, and technical skills with people skills. The curricula not only provide the mathematical and information-technology skills needed for advanced coursework and careers but they also prepare graduates to manage and lead diverse organizations that are part of business, cultural, and natural ecosystems. In addition, a number of student clubs and organizations are available for SEBA students where they can develop professional and leadership skills such as the Data Science and Net Impact clubs and the Guyette Fellowships for Responsible Leadership.
