The Robert Alvine Professional Enrichment Program

All College of Business students may participate in the Robert Alvine Professional Enrichment Program. Students pursuing a B.S. degree in a business program must participate in several activities each year. This program offers co-curricular activities during which students meet and network with area specialists; learn from business leaders; become involved in work-related endeavors such as a practicum and job shadowing; and attend various seminars, workshops, and forums that deal with professional readiness and work-related issues or emerging issues that impact the business environment. The Professional Enrichment Program builds upon the academic programs by (a) providing cutting-edge information and knowledge concerning matters that impact the operation of business and (b) merging theory into practice by way of the professional expertise and orientation of the session speakers.

Experiential Education Requirement

In addition to participating in activities of the Robert Alvine Professional Enrichment Program, all College of Business students are required to engage in some designated experiential education activity. This may include internships, a practicum, study abroad, faculty-sponsored research, or academic service learning program. This experiential focus is consistent with University policy and provides a link between classroom instruction and career development. Students should meet with their advisor to plan the activity appropriate for their study program. Students will register for BUSA 4501   and BUSA 4502   during their senior year to record completion of their experiential education requirement and participation in the Robert Alvine Professional Enrichment Program. Evening students are exempt from this requirement.
