Welcome to the Richard J. Wehle (pronounced way’ lee) School of Business at Canisius College. Whether you are a prospective student, an alumnus, or a curious visitor to our Web site, we hope your visit is pleasant and informative.
The Canisius advantage
The Wehle School of Business offers many advantages to its students, all of whom are admitted directly into the business major of their choice. While some business schools only admit a student in their junior year, our direct admission program ensures you the opportunity to graduate from the major in which you are interested. It also means you will be immediately assigned a business professor as an advisor.
The School of Business boasts small class sizes; many have fewer than 35 students taught by faculty members who are well qualified in their discipline. More than 90 percent of our faculty hold doctoral degrees. Our classes are not taught by graduate students.
