Student Experience Center
The Student Experience Center (SEC) serves as the School of Management's centralized hub for student success, supporting students from entry through graduation and into career launch. Building on a strong foundation of guest lectures, company visits, internships, and experiential programming, the SEC is evolving into a strategically integrated model that aligns academic support, advising, co-curricular engagement, and career preparation within a unified framework.
Through organizational visits and industry exposure, the SEC promotes cooperative learning, community engagement, and personal growth. Students participate in a vibrant co-curricular environment that includes the World of Business Club, Marketing Club, Finance Club, Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society, and additional student organizations. Networking events, corporate site visits—including experiences at organizations such as Bloomberg and the New York Federal Reserve Bank—and experiential learning activities connect students with faculty, alumni, and industry partners while strengthening academic and professional development.
At the core of the SEC is a structured four-year Career Readiness pathway that integrates academic momentum, experiential learning, leadership development, and career preparation. This coordinated approach supports engagement and belonging while advancing retention, graduation, and career placement outcomes.
Professional Development Course Series
The Professional Development sequence is a structured three-course progression guiding students from academic transition through career readiness and professional launch. Aligned with industry expectations and NACE career readiness competencies, the series integrates academic success strategies, experiential learning, leadership development, and AI-enhanced professional skill building. Across the first three years, students strengthen professional identity, communication and collaboration skills, and industry engagement while developing a comprehensive digital career portfolio.
BUSI 111 Professional Development I (1 credit)
Introduces foundational academic, professional, and career readiness skills. Through workshops, advising, and self-assessment, students develop competencies in communication, leadership, professionalism, and teamwork. Emphasis is placed on academic success strategies, time management, professional branding, and early career exploration. Students create a résumé, LinkedIn profile, and personalized development plan while engaging with campus resources and experiential opportunities.
BUSI 212 Professional Development II (1 credit)
Strengthens professional identity, communication skills, and career exploration strategies. Students refine personal branding materials, expand networking capabilities, and participate in experiential activities that connect academic preparation with emerging career pathways. Guided reflection and industry exposure help students apply NACE competencies and prepare for internships, certifications, and applied learning experiences in technology-driven environments.
BUSI 313 Professional Development III (1 credit)
Prepares students to transition from academic preparation to career launch through advanced leadership development, career strategy, and workplace readiness. Students engage in strengths assessments, negotiation practice, collaborative simulations, and change-management exercises that mirror real-world business challenges. Emphasis is placed on micro-internships, certifications, alumni engagement, and AI-supported tools that enhance professional portfolios and career planning.
School of Management Assurance of Learning
All students and organizations expect assurance that graduates of the School of Management are achieving the program's stated learning goals. In this spirit, the educational approach taken is one that is outcomes-based. Student learning outcomes are created across every course to validate and support the achievement of programmatic, concentration-specific, and course-level learning goals. These outcomes also strengthen the student's ability to make value-adding contributions to an organization.
Moreover, as previously mentioned, course-level learning goals and related outcomes for each class are designed to include invariant, contextual, and instructor-specific categories. In this way students receive learning experiences that are uniform across sections (invariant), globalized (contextual), and niche specific (instructor-specific), focusing on the specific domain expertise of the instructor.
The School of Management continually updates its curriculum so that it is both contemporary and competitive. Outcomes assessment is continuous, and inputs from students and all stakeholders are utilized to both revise academic programs as well as externally reference the curriculum for relevancy.
