Message from the Dean

Welcome to the School of Business BSBA/MBA spring ’19 newsletter.

It has been an exciting spring semester at the School. We have almost completed the first semester of our 100 percent online MBA program, we awarded over $200,000 to business students at the annual Scholarships and Awards Luncheon, and one of our business students won first place at the 2019 "TheOther40" Business Plan Competition. Enjoy reading the rest of the newsletter!

Sincerely,
Timothy S. Schoenecker, PhD
Dean

International Travel Study

We often hear from our School of Business alumni that they wish they had traveled internationally while in school. Employers are increasingly seeking out individuals who have had international experience, and this international experience is helping our students stand out among the competition. Students and alumni report that studying abroad changes their lives in many ways, including enhancing what they are studying and opening doors to new possibilities and new ways of thinking. Read more about the School's International Travel Study Program.
