Business at Molloy
In the Molloy Business program, we begin with the end in mind: to prepare our Business students to be successful business professionals. Molloy’s “executive-based faculty” help open doors for our students to get them “out of the stack of résumés.” We do this by focusing on the academic and professional skills we believe will give them a competitive edge:
• Writing skills. Students will em-ploy written communication skills through the use of individual and/or team research projects.
• Technical skills. Students will acquire quantitative and modeling skills to analyze and evaluate current business problems and solutions.
• Public speaking. Students will employ oral communication skills, effectively emphasizing professional presentation and/or team participation.
• Ethics. Students will integrate a strong ethical thought process into all their business decision-making.

Business program students obtain professional internships throughout their career, sometimes as early as their freshman year. We are able to create these opportunities for Molloy Business students because our executive faculty have established a professional network in a variety of different industries.
 
Molloy Business honors program
Molloy offers the only honors program in the region specifically focused on business. It is made up of the most academically qualified and well-rounded students in each incoming freshman class. The size is limited to 40 students divided into two cohorts of approximately 20.

International travel, sports, clubs, and much more
The College has expanded its International Education program, where students travel from Rockville Centre to study abroad in such countries as Australia, Belgium, France, India, Italy, Spain, and Thailand. By immersing themselves in cultures in other parts of the world, students gain knowledge while learning acceptance and understanding.

Closer to home, Molloy College students make a difference in Rockville Centre as well as other nearby local communities. For example, as part of Molloy’s tradition of service, students become involved in a number of service projects that include BoxTown, a program to raise social consciousness about the issue of homelessness.

Athletics and academics go hand- in-hand at Molloy College, where students are known for both their athletic and scholastic success. The Long Island school has a winning tradition in a number of NCAA Division II athletic programs, and two athletes recently earned All-American honors.

Campus life in Rockville Centre, New York, is alive and vibrant, with more than 50 student clubs and honor societies and a wide variety of social events.
