Academic Departments
The Department of Accounting prepares students to become accountants and other professionals skilled in interpreting financial statements and managing a business’s expenses.
The Department of Business Administration educates future leaders in making business decisions and managing teams.
The Department of Economics explores how society distributes scarce resources to produce goods and services, combining business and liberal arts.
Business students use this space to interact with local businesses, complete business simulations, listen to speakers, and give presentations.
In the back of the engagement center is the Strauss Center for Sales Excellence.
This area features professional sales rooms equipped with video cameras where students can practice for an upcoming interview or complete a sales simulation.
The Winona National Bank Financial Markets Lab is also located near the engagement center, and this lab features a running stock market ticker and conference room setup.
This is also where students can go to pick up their fully configured PC or Mac laptop through the eWarrior Laptop Program.

Every academic building at Winona State has at least one printer on each floor, but most buildings have multiple printers to accommodate all our students.
The auditorium has a large stage and screen at the front for faculty to broadcast their presentations.
This venue also hosts campus events like hypnotist shows, music performances, and guest speaker talks.
