Built into both semesters of our program, our career courses are designed to allow students to build the foundations of their career search. In the first semester's Career Strategy course, students practice mock interviews, salary negotiations, tailoring their resumes and cover letters, optimizing their LinkedIn pages, and crafting their networking pitches. In the second semester's Career Development, students will work one on one with Career Development to design and execute a career search plan with the goal of securing a career building job upon graduation.

When a student decides to join our program, we have an "on-boarding" meeting to discuss a student's interest and to provide all of the resources we have to help the student secure an internship. Our students intern during the morning, and take classes in the afternoon. Internships are required and meant as practical experiences to add business knowledge and skills while earning some extra money. A typical week for our students blends career, professionalism, and academics. 

Students work in teams to analyze realistic business decision-making via an immersive semester-long simulation under the guidance of a faculty member. Teams make executive-level decisions regarding business operations, global scope, and social responsibility drawing on the lessons learned in the classroom. Teams must then present and defend their business decisions to faculty.

In October, we visit companies in-personal and virtually to expose our students to different businesses and to experience a day in the life of various industries. This week demonstrates that good jobs can be found at local firms and large companies. Students hear from a selection of departments in the individual companies to discover which jobs might appeal to their interests. 

The week also includes networking events with alumni, professionals, and other business connections.
