Porter B. Byrum School of Business
In the School of Business our focus is on creating a vibrant learning atmosphere that translates into relevant job opportunities for students upon graduation. We emphasize the use of resources that help to enhance the learning process:
- ACBSP-certified Accounting Lab that helps to train students how to use Capital IQ, CRSP and Morningstar Investment Research Center resources
- Active learning opportunities and focused student-teacher interactions
- Experiential, hands-on learning through team-based projects and case studies
- Immersive class projects and presentations
- Undergraduate research and internships
We encourage students to rise to their personal best and give back to their community. That is why we offer a volunteer tax internship program, the VITA Program, to our students to make an impact in Union County.
