Others Talk. Sentry Does.

Business is all about walking the talk, so why do so many business schools just talk? We don’t.

We’re the Sentry School of Business and Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and if we learn something in the morning, we’re putting it to work in the afternoon–at organizations, on campus and in the community. Our hands-on approach means our students graduate with that something extra employers love: 
real-world experience.

That’s a big reason why we’re one of the fastest-growing Wisconsin business schools.

What makes the Sentry School different?

Academics Built for Today’s Workplace

Sentry School courses aren’t built around textbooks and slide decks. Instead, our interactive classes are built around current trends in AI, advanced analytics, lean management, and more. Our graduates are up to speed on how business works today, and they’re ready to add value from day one. 

 

A Required Internship

Every Sentry School student completes an internship before graduating. That gives every graduate real workplace experience, professional references and often a direct path to that first job offer. 

Learning Beyond the Classroom

The Smiley Professional Events program gives students access to more than 300 speakers, panel discussions, workshops and off-campus opportunities each year – directly expanding students’ skills and opportunities. 

Student Support from First Visit to Graduation

The Anderson Classroom to Career Center connects students with the Sentry School’s advising and careerprep resources supporting them from admission through graduation and beyond. 

World-Class Facilities on the Way

The Sentry School’s new headquarters, Sentry Hall, is slated to open for the 2028-29 school year. It promises state-of-the-art facilities and innovative spaces for collaboration and study. 

AACSB Accreditation

The Sentry School has been fully accredited by AACSB, the worldwide benchmark of quality for business education. Fewer than 6% of business schools globally hold AACSB accreditation. Employers and graduate programs recognize and value a degree from an AACSB-accredited school – enhancing the value of a Sentry School education. 

JOIN THE WINNING TEAM

Kicking off fall 2026, UW-Stevens Point will be offering the Midwest’s only sport business major from an AACSB-accredited business school at a public university. As a sport business student, you’ll learn how to provide marketing, analytics, event-promotion and merchandising support to athletes and teams, driving attendance and support and providing the data teams and programs rely on for success.
