Masterson College is a small liberal arts women's college in North Carolina. The founders of the college were Baptist and were committed to the idea that a liberal arts education was the best preparation for life-long learning. The college has continued to support this orientation towards liberal arts education and has actually moved to strengthen that commitment recently. Within the last two decades, the business department has become one of the larger departments on campus. The faculty of the business department are also committed to finding employment for their graduates and believe that two things are critical for this to happen:
1) their students must have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of their discipline; and
2) internships are an important method of establishing the connections and opportunities for employment.
