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."

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.
