Eccles Leadership and Career Pathway Program
The Eccles Leadership and Career Pathway is a four-year, cohort-based, immersive program woven into the business curriculum via the Business Skills and Experiences courses.
Think of it as your built-in roadmap for making the most of your college experience, with each year intentionally building toward key academic and professional milestones. Along the way, you’ll receive support from start to finish through personalized advising, mentorship, and career development resources.
Freshman Year
Leadership Foundations
(MGT 1000 and MGT 1005)
Start your college journey with a built-in community. In cohorted classes, you’ll meet your people and navigate your first year together, with support from a student ambassador who’s been in your shoes and can help you find your footing.
In MGT 1000 (Fall Semester), you’ll build essential business and durable skills. Then, in MGT 1005 (Spring Semester), you’ll take it further, learning about real-world applications with an introduction to our Eccles Institutes, Centers, and Initiatives.

Determining Your Direction
(MGT 2010 and MGT 2015)
MGT 2010 (Fall Semester) helps you map out your career path and take the next step with confidence. You’ll identify your strengths, explore business careers, and make informed decisions about your future. With support from a Business Career Coach, you’ll create a Career Development Portfolio and develop key tools to stand out, like a strong résumé and networking skills, to help you land internships and jobs.
Then, in MGT 2015 (Spring Semester), you’ll build on that foundation by exploring business majors and their career pathways, so you can confidently choose and declare your specialized major.
Junior and Senior Years
