About the Faculty of Business

The Faculty of Business at the University of New Brunswick is recognized for its innovative programs, quality education and consistency in producing future business leaders.

More than a number

We are a small, friendly and dedicated faculty with a mission to enhance our students’ understanding of the world in which they live and work. Our students are more than just a number. We know them by name and provide unique opportunities for their career development.

Our students learn to make a significant difference in their community. They present papers at conferences, serve on the Saint John Board of Trade and interact with some of the most experienced business people in our city and province.

Learn from the experts

We are a faculty of subject matter experts. In the Faculty of Business, learn small business strategy from an entrepreneur, finance and business law from a lawyer/chartered accountant. Be challenged to incorporate new technologies into your assignments by an information and communications technology expert.

We are committed to pursuing applied research that meets the needs of local industry and New Brunswick’s development efforts. We’re directly engaged with the Saint John community — and beyond.
