About the School of Business

The School of Business at Howard Payne University prepares students for meaningful work, responsible leadership, and lives of service.

Students do more than study business concepts. They learn how to think clearly, communicate well, solve problems, use information wisely, and make decisions with integrity. Through programs in accounting, finance, management, marketing, sport management, business administration, and the Master of Business Administration, students build a foundation that can prepare them for careers, graduate study, entrepreneurship, and service in many kinds of organizations.

Business education at HPU is personal. Students are known by their faculty, supported as they work toward their goals, and challenged to connect what they are learning with the people and communities their future decisions will affect.

The School of Business connects students with alumni, employers, entrepreneurs, and community partners who help them see career paths more clearly, learn from real experience, and better understand the opportunities available after graduation.

Whether you are a prospective student, current student, parent, alumnus, employer, or community partner, we are glad you are interested in the School of Business. Our mission is to prepare career-ready, faith-formed business graduates who are known personally, grounded ethically, prepared professionally, and connected to employer and community needs.
