Our Mission

The mission of the Business Division at Iowa Wesleyan College is to provide a quality liberal arts education with an emphasis on the world of business. Majors available to the student include Accounting, Business–Computer Information Systems, Sport Management and Business Administration with concentrations in marketing, management or human resources; minors in business administration for the non-business major and economics. The student will be prepared to become both a productive citizen and a successful professional.

Our Philosophy

To provide learning opportunities that help to develop future business professionals and positive, effective citizens. This is guided by the Iowa Wesleyan College’s Life Skills of valuing, communication, problem solving and social effectiveness, that are essential to an education in business. The student will obtain a balanced selection of liberal arts education, business concepts and a specialization in one or more fields of interest. The Division has a strong belief that experience in the field during the educational process not only benefits the student in the future but in the college experiences as well. Therefore all Business Division students will obtain internship experiences as part of their education at Iowa Wesleyan College.
