Mission

The Wilbur O. and Ann Powers College of Business graduates servant leaders equipped with 21st-century skills to thrive in a dynamic global economy.

Vision

The Wilbur O. and Ann Powers College of Business will leverage the strengths of its Foundational Disciplines (academic departments) to create Signature Programs. These business-critical competencies will be a differentiator and contribute to Clemson University's rise in educational relevance on a national level.

Pre-Business Curriculum

In their first year, students planning to pursue undergraduate degrees in Accounting, Economics, Financial Management, Management or Marketing complete a standard curriculum that includes Business 1010, as well as economics courses and math courses.

This develops a foundational understanding of our range of business degrees and empowers our students to make a well-informed decision about their major. We designed this first year to set the stage for a more successful college journey and a more meaningful Clemson Experience.

Signature Programs

Signature Programs in the Wilbur O. and Ann Powers College of Business emphasize highly relevant business skills to students who choose to add these programs to the majors and minors they already have. Signature Programs also help to create meaningful interactions with industry and alumni and create a unique way to reward, intrigue and retain our stellar faculty.

Our Signature Programs currently include the following:
