Sonoma State University School of Business and Economics
Sonoma State University’s School of Business and Economics (SBE) is proud to equip students with the skills employers are looking for in service of our indomitable North Bay and California economies. We engage with industry to maintain a fresh curriculum, hands-on educational experiences, and professional development opportunities that open pathways for our students to thrive in exciting and meaningful careers. And, with their practical research, our faculty members are working to transform North Bay organizations seeking to achieve business results through data-driven best practices. The reputation of our programs is steadily growing in the fields of Wine Business, Accounting and Finance, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Management, Economics, and Analytics. In addition to undergraduate degrees in Business Administration and Economics, we offer an MBA in both part-time and executive formats, as well as the first wine business undergraduate and graduate degrees in the United States. In fact, our Wine Business Institute has emerged as a leading think tank where education, research, and practice intersect for the wine industry. Accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the SBE is in the top 10% of business schools worldwide to have achieved this distinction. Our mission is to create extraordinary learning experiences for our students and to advance best business practices in the North Bay and beyond. In the service of that mission, we support business practices at the intersection of markets, communities, and the environment.
