Haworth College of Business

The Haworth College of Business at Western Michigan University originated in 1949, evolving from a business research unit into one of the largest business schools in the United States. The college is named after WMU alumnus G.W. Haworth, who founded Haworth Inc., now one of the world’s largest office furniture manufacturers. In the 1980s, G.W. Haworth funded the construction of a modern new building for the business school, and Western Michigan University’s business school was renamed the Haworth College of Business. In 1991, the college moved to its current building, Schneider Hall, named after its founding dean, Arnold Schneider.

The Haworth College of Business at Western Michigan University is one of the largest business schools in the United States, home to over 3,000 business students in 16 academic fields. The Haworth College of Business is accredited by AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. This accreditation covers both undergraduate and graduate programs. Students graduating from AACSB-accredited programs are highly sought after by employers worldwide.
