Experiential Learning/Internships
During your undergraduate studies, you’ll have a number of hands-on opportunities to gain real-world experience.
Case Studies
Case studies are one of our most popular opportunities for entrepreneurship and other business majors. A case study starts with a real “problem.” Students then work individually or in teams to identify possible solutions and present them to their class. Competitions provide incentives for both the winners and participants, in addition to earning an ExEL unit credit if you enter a case study competition.
Internships
In addition to case competitions, entrepreneurship majors enjoy exclusive internships and have access to our Corporate Speaker Series, workshops, and employer networking events, which bring you face-to-face with leading organizations.
