At Gannon, we emphasize a blend of real-world experience in addition to classroom instruction.

The Dahlkemper School of Business provides access to the Business Information Systems Laboratory, a state-of-the-art learning environment that affords students the ability to perform business simulations with decision-making, data integration, and visualization using advanced tools and cutting-edge technologies.

Learning through experience is a common theme here. We’ve developed an entrepreneurial space within our Center for Business Ingenuity to help you become a successful entrepreneur with the aid of regional and University experts in the Dahlkemper School of Business, the Northwest Pennsylvania Innovation Beehive Network, the Small Business Development Center, and the Erie Technology Incubator. Bringing together these entities encourages an unprecedented level of collaboration between students, entrepreneurs, and faculty in a facility that looks and feels like a corporate headquarters. Many of our students have started actual businesses here and continue to work with these entities even after graduation.

Gannon’s campus is centrally located near many financial, manufacturing, and health care institutions as well as many other industries. This urban campus in the heart of downtown is within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and Lake Erie beaches. Gannon is also within a two-hour drive of Cleveland, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh. The closeproximity to college, minor league, and professional sports teams provides another unique learning experience for students. For example, Sport Management and Marketing students often collaborate with business professionals from the Erie Otters team to gain practical skills and expertise.

There is something on campus for everyone to enjoy. Our friendly environment is the perfect place to join on-campus activities through our 140+ clubs and organizations in addition to student-run events, movies, concerts, and trips. The Recreation and Wellness Center includes an indoor fieldhouse and running track, swimming pool, basketball courts, golf simulator, and an array of exercise equipment to stay active.
