The Franklin P. Perdue School of Business is the business college of Salisbury University, part of the University System of Maryland. Named in honor of Franklin P. Perdue of Perdue Farms, the school has held AACSB accreditation in both business and accounting, a distinction earned by only a small share of business schools worldwide. It is best known for delivering a high-quality, practical business education at public-university prices, with particular strength in accounting, finance, and management.
The school operates from Perdue Hall on Salisbury's attractive campus and maintains close ties with regional employers such as Perdue Farms, Wor-Wic partners, and Mid-Atlantic accounting and financial firms. Students benefit from small class sizes, hands-on learning, internships, student investment funds, and active business clubs and honor societies. The Eastern Shore setting offers a close-knit community feel, with Ocean City beaches and the Chesapeake region nearby.
