Student Affairs - Information About LSBE Opportunities
A number of special learning opportunities are available to students in LSBE. Internship
experiences offer students an opportunity to apply knowledge and skills gained in the
classroom to real problems of management and administration through work in sponsoring
organizations. Most internships offer a salary as well as the opportunity to earn credits
through a supervised work experience.
 The University-wide Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) provides
financial awards to undergraduates for research, scholarly, or creative projects undertaken
in partnership with a faculty sponsor. UROP provides the student with the unique educational
experience of collaborating with a faculty member on the design and implementation of a
project. At the same time, faculty have an opportunity to work closely with students and
receive valuable assistance with their own research.
The School's Center for Economic Development provides special learning
opportunities for
students through technical assistance programs
that serve the region's small businesses.
Often these opportunities are student internships
or positions which engage students in
economic or marketing research. The Student to
Business Initiative,
offers opportunities for students to become
involved in applying knowledge and skills to
practical problems. In selected classes each
semester, several
student teams work directly with a business enterprise
on managerial, marketing, or
accounting problems and present solutions to
business owners.
There are a variety of student organizations that students may join. These organizations
allow the student to gain further information about the various business disciplines as
well as help develop relationships with faculty and business professionals. In addition,
the student organizations sponsor career shadowing, where students sign up to shadow a
business professional for a day.
