I personally wish to welcome you to the web site of the Department of Business, Management and Accounting (DBMA) in the School of Business and Technology at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. This is an exciting time for our department! It is especially more exciting for any student interested in a major in business administration. The department, which is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International, offers a wide range of programs to choose from.
In this globally connected knowledge-based economy, business environment is dynamically changing constantly.

Our students are actively sought after by Fortune 500 companies. Some of our students are now assuming administrative and managerial positions at various Fortune 500 firms such as IBM, Bank of America, KPMG, Walmart, etc. Internship opportunities in the private and government sectors are also available to all students enrolled in programs offered by the department.
