Business with a Human Edge.
At a time when business education often emphasizes technical and analytical skills, the School of Business at Elizabethtown College distinguishes itself by equally prioritizing human skills — empathy, self-awareness, cross-cultural understanding, and ethical decision-making. Using advanced tools such as the Myers-Briggs MBTI® Step II™ and Emotional Intelligence EQ-i 2.0® assessments, we help students deepen their self-knowledge and interpersonal abilities.
Etown’s Educate for Service motto permeates every aspect of the program. Learning extends well beyond the classroom—through student clubs, strong mentoring by the faculty and business leaders, faculty-led study tours, international experiences in cities such as Prague and Geneva, and engagement with vibrant American towns and major business hubs. Combined with the integration of cutting-edge technology across business disciplines, these experiences enrich students’ global perspective and prepare them to thrive as both skilled professionals and thoughtful, ethical leaders.
