Office of the Dean

At our AACSB-accredited School of Business and Economics, we combine academic rigor with real-world experience — while keeping a high-quality business education affordable and accessible to our learners.

Every learner is assigned a faculty advisor or success coach who provides one-on-one guidance from the beginning of their academic journey through graduation. Our SBE internship office works closely with the university’s Career Development Center to connect learners with internships, experiential learning opportunities and career opportunities well before graduation.

Our data show that 95% of SBE undergraduate learners secure employment before or shortly after graduation or continue their education in graduate school.

The SBE is a place where learners receive individualized support, build meaningful connections and develop the skills and confidence to pursue rewarding careers. Through innovative teaching, hands-on learning and an inclusive academic community, we help learners grow academically, professionally and personally.
