Ricciardi College of Business

Initially established as the School of Management and Aviation Science during the 1997-1998 academic year, the college was officially renamed the Louis M. Ricciardi College of Business in spring 2012 in recognition of the decades of service that Louis Ricciardi '81 has provided to Bridgewater State University. From its inception, the college has been comprised of three departments: the Department of Accounting and Finance, the Department of Aviation Science and the Department of Management and Marketing. Mr. Ricciardi's unwavering support of the College of Business, the university, and the students of BSU continues through the scholarships he provides, his service on multiple boards, and his active involvement with co-curricular activities and community engagement.

The college offers undergraduate programs leading to the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree and graduate programs leading to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and the Master of Science in Accountancy (MSA).
