Plymouth State’s popular business programs prepare students for lifelong success in their field of choice.


Focused yet flexible curricula encourage and challenge students to reach their full potential as they gain résumé building experience through partnerships with real clients and communities.

The Plymouth State University Sales Institute is a nationally recognized collegiate sales program steeped in an inclusive culture. Student teams regularly triumph against elite institutions in both national and international competitions.

The Panther Pitch, PSU’s Shark Tank clone, is a campus wide competition in which students create, refine, and deliver innovative and entrepreneurial ideas that address societal challenges. Students win cash prizes and receive top-notch mentorship from successful entrepreneurs.

Plymouth Creative, a student-run marketing and design agency, works with community businesses and nonprofits on a full range of potential assignments. Students generate marketing materials; implement social media; create websites, advertising, e-mail campaigns, and videography; and handle public relations, event planning, and market research.

PSU offers New Hampshire’s most affordable cohort-based MBA program, which can be completed in just one year, and a fully online version is available as well. The program is designed for non-business majors who are interested in adding business and managerial skills to any bachelor’s degree.

Innovation and entrepreneurship are key to Plymouth State’s Integrated Clusters learning model. No matter their course of study, students gain an understanding of how to develop and implement innovative and entrepreneurial ideas.

Student organizations, including the Enactus entrepreneurship student club, the Marketing Association of Plymouth State (MAPS), and the PSU Finance Club are among those regularly hosting networking events where students make valuable connections with regional and business communities.
