As you approach your third year (45 credits) we can’t stress enough how valuable the role of a Degree Advisor is to our business students. We are your support and advocate. Our biggest accomplishment is watching you cross the stage. Student life can be hard and we can help keep you on track academically.
Success Coaches
We recognize that education extends beyond just academics and that personal growth, career readiness and life skills are equally important. Meeting regularly with a Success Coach will help you build a deeper understanding of the professional landscape and prepare you for a seamless transition to the professional world.
