What if I'm struggling academically?

What if I'd like more of a challenge or a new experience?

Our majors typically do a at least one internship and are encouraged to be active in extracurricular activities such as Beta Alpha Psi. 

Adding a minor, second major, or study abroad experience are other excellent choices.

How do I apply to graduate?

Graduates are employed in virtually all aspects of business including accounting, finance, and management positions.
