The Bill Greehey School of Business offers innovative programs designed to prepare students for real-world leadership and lifelong achievement, as well as
for today's ever evolving global and technological business environment.
Our academic programs emphasize ethical leadership, technical excellence, global awareness and professional orientation. Programs such as the
Greehey Scholars and the
Entrepreneurial Scholars (E-Scholars) provide on-going interaction with industry executives and personal career development, as well as learning models through travel, academic competition and service.
Students have access to real-world, experiential learning opportunities in a real-time stock trading room in which they manage a
$1 million investment portfolio, and one of the first
student managed businesses at a Texas university.
