Becoming a “business professional” does not develop in class alone, nor does it occur by “checking off boxes” of activities at any time through a college career. The College of Business provides suggestions and requirements to guide students to the ultimate goal of graduating as a business professional with strong content knowledge and practical, integrated, real-world experience.

By graduation, students will…

• Understand how their skills/abilities are uniquely suited for their major/career choice.
• Have marketing materials that specifically speak to their personal brand.
• Know of several career paths that professionals can achieve with their major and how one becomes successful within that career path.
• Be able to articulate their unique strengths through written and verbal communication.
• Have experience in both small and large-scale networking situations and move toward comfort in those situations.
• Have completed at least one professional internship that built confidence in the student’s ability to work in a professional environment.
