Alumni Perspective
"My job as a management consultant requires solving complex business problems, sometimes in areas where I know very little. Lawrence taught me how to research, learn topics quickly, and create structure around complexity which is exactly what my day to day requires."

The Greater Good
Business is all about understanding and meeting human needs and wants. The Greater Good requirement brings perspectives from the Humanities and Ethics into the BUEN major.
Experiential Learning
Whether through an internship in the US or abroad, or an on-campus practicum, the Business & Entrepreneurship major takes you outside the classroom.
A career community is a cluster of similar career paths grouped together to help you better explore your areas of interest.
