Prospective Students

In the Romain College of Business, our value proposition is leveraging technology in unique ways to build market-leading competencies in our students in a personalized, co-created learning environment.

Business degrees at the Romain College of Business offer more practical, hands-on experience than you'll find at other top business schools. USI's business degrees offer student-centered opportunities you won't find in many other business programs, including:

• The opportunity to build two market-leading competencies involving Artificial Intelligence: AI-based neuromarketing and AI-based textual analytics.
• Access to four state-of-the-art labs – Biometrix Discovery Lab, Cybersecurity Operations Center, Experimental Economics Lab and Textual Analytics and Publishing Lab – from your first day on campus, not just as a senior or grad student.
• An emphasis on real-world business experience: From accounting firms to marketing agencies, our students turn meaningful internships into jobs immediately after graduation.

The Romain College of Business has earned accreditation from AACSB, the world’s largest and longest-serving accrediting body for business schools. Considered the “gold standard” for business accreditation, the Romain College of Business is among only 2% of business schools, globally, to have earned AACSB accreditation for its Business and Accounting Programs.
