Business surrounds us all.  We work, operate, and rely on business to provide us with our necessities and luxuries in life.  

Business students are exposed to authentic and real-life experiences and develop knowledge and skills to be able to contribute meaningfully to society and the workforce as potential employees, employers, leaders, managers and entrepreneurs of the future.
