This isn’t just any business school-it’s the ONLY business school in America to have scored the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, a trophy so rare some people think it’s just a myth made up to scare lazy students. But here, it’s very real, and probably featured in a few PowerPoint presentations. The Monfort College is part of the University of Northern Colorado, and its reputation is top notch-AACSB accreditation, which means if business schools were restaurants, this would be one you’d have to book months in advance.
Monfort offers a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, with choices like Accounting, Computer Information Systems, Finance, Management, Marketing, or just General Business-because who doesn’t like “a little bit of everything” on their résumé? They keep class sizes small-around 31 students-so professors actually know your name and not just that you always hand in your homework at the last minute.
Feeling a bit geeky? The Software Engineering track teams up with the College of Natural and Health Sciences, prepping future computer whizzes. For the dreamers thinking bigger-there’s a Master of Accounting, hitting that magical 150 hours for CPA requirements, and the flexible MBA program opens up for professionals AND full-timers.
Monfort students don’t just bury themselves in books. You might stumble on a Student Council meeting, a lively Beta Alpha Psi debate, or even spot students managing part of the school’s endowment on the New York Stock Exchange-we’re talking real money, real stocks, not Monopoly dollars.
Oh, and if you ever hear pages rustling, students here get the Wall Street Journal for free. Either to stay informed, or to check the crossword. Welcome to Monfort, where tomorrow’s leaders might be standing right next to you, deciding if it’s too early in the semester to skip another Monday morning lecture.
