About Business Fellows

The Business Fellows Program provides students a four-year, experiential, team-based scholastic, business experience with like-minded students.

Students will engage in deep interactions with the business faculty from disciplines such as accounting, banking, entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, project management, sales, strategy and supply chain and then have opportunities to see how these disciplines are applied in real-world business applications.
