- » Faculty Led TripEach school year, a qualified professor (or professors) teaches a course on business in a specific country. At the end of the course, the class visits the country to experience firsthand the content they learned all semester. If you want to study abroad but are unsure about long term commitment, this is the perfect opportunity for you. You can travel with a group and decide if studying abroad is of real interest to you! There is an additional cost to take these classes to help fund the trip. Past trips include visits to London, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Brazil. If you are interested in enrolling in this international study experience or have further questions, please contact Dr. Jaime Williams for more information.

Internships ›
Internships play a massive role in departments across the entire College of Business. Featured to the left is Addison Dorris, who recently interned with Dollar General. Below is the testimonial she provided about her internship experience.
“During my internship, I developed my skillsets in project management, collaboration, human resources, and professional writing and design. Throughout the summer, I was able to take the lessons I learned in the classroom and apply them real-world situations. After this experience, I better understand how HR operates at a major corporation. This internship experience helped me realize that a career in Human Resources is the direction I want to take for my future!”
