Open House

Welcome to the Walker College of Business

We prepare and inspire students to be ethical, innovative, and engaged business leaders who positively impact our community locally and globally. We emphasize international experiences, sustainable business practices, entrepreneurial programs, and real-world applications with industry. Enrolling 4,219 undergraduates in 11 majors, as well as 271 graduate students in three master's programs, the Walker College's full-time undergraduate enrollment is the highest in the UNC System. 

Boone Campus: Saturday, April 12

Between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., faculty representatives from the Departments of Accounting, Computer Information Systems, Economics, Finance & Banking, Management, and Marketing & Supply Chain Management will be at Peacock Hall's Boyles Lobby (2nd floor) to talk with students and family members. Walker Fellows, our App State business student leaders, will offer tours of Peacock Hall, home of the Walker College, during this same time, and you may visit our Centers for Entrepreneurship, Risk Management & Insurance, Academic Advising, and Business Career Services. If you're considering a degree in business, we hope to see you at Open House!
