Insights and impact
No matter your chosen program, our business thought leadership and research excellence permeates every facet of the SC Johnson College experience.
Entrepreneurship with ambition
The best entrepreneurs dream big — then check their assumptions and test their ideas systematically. They network across sectors to build connected business ecosystems capable of rapid, agile growth. Students, faculty and alumni in the SC Johnson College community launch startups that solve problems, transform industries and shape economies. And those who don’t start their own businesses cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset applicable to any ambition.
Leveraging artificial intelligence
AI is more than a tool. It’s a market analyst. A logistics coordinator. A decision maker. It’s the basis of a product not yet developed. A solution for tomorrow’s greatest challenges. But only when business leaders draw on sound judgment to develop and implement the technology thoughtfully. Our faculty, students and alumni are working to understand the business and economic implications of AI, guard against pitfalls and leverage it for good.
Purpose-driven business
What if business success was measured by problems solved — not just profits generated? Our students, faculty and alumni tease apart complex issues, build businesses to address societal problems and improve the world at large, whether they are working to eliminate packaging waste, reduce disease on poultry farms, rethink the culture of banking or advance climate finance.

“The analytic rigor of the Dyson program allowed me to differentiate myself when I launched my career in fashion retail post-graduation, quickly identifying product trends and opportunities. Today, as an entrepreneur, I find myself utilizing a lot of the things I picked up and learned from the core business courses, from accounting to marketing.”
