CAREER GROWTH & SUCCESS
An education driven by experience
Real career experiences with businesses and nonprofits are embedded into the business and entrepreneurship program. Most quarters include a class dedicated to career development. Learning from Experience, a series of three classes, is dedicated to immersive field experiences that begin with job shadowing and evolve into full-time internships or mentored startup incubation.
