Students in CM have the opportunity to learn and work with a distinguished faculty through a curriculum that is attuned to the needs of the changing global business environment. The College is proud to be one of 504 business schools accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International). CM offers an exceptional value and a place to build a rewarding career.

The College is home to three academic departments, four business centers, and the Financial Services Forum. The academic departments: Accounting and Finance, Management and Marketing, and Management Science and Information Systems provide centers for faculty from the relevant disciplines and manage courses and concentrations in their respective areas. The business centers: the Center for Collaborative Leadership, the Environmental Business and Technology Center, the Greater Boston Manufacturing Partnership, and the Small Business Development Center provide a direct tie to the businesses and economy of greater Boston. CM’s Financial Services Forum is a source of current information and commentary on the health of and critical issues facing the financial services industry.

Our undergraduate program offers small classes, a highly qualified faculty, a diverse student body, and a whole array of student resources. Virtually all of our classes enroll 35 students or less to create an active learning environment with a great deal of faculty-student interaction. Classes are typically taught by approximately fifty full-time faculty and twenty five part-time faculty members with strong academic and professional qualifications. Our diverse and cosmopolitan students are drawn from metropolitan Boston, nationally, and internationally. Course work and an array of student resources help undergraduate students develop the communication, presentation and analytical skills required by contemporary managers. More specific professional development is available through various student activities as well as dedicated CM career services. CM is committed to the success of all its students, both academically and professionally, and to providing the individual attention and support that make their accomplishments a reality.
