What Our Students Say

I love how I will get to walk out of this program feeling knowledgeable in regards to the business school and the University as a whole. Also, I get to start school alongside new friends from many diverse backgrounds.

College is more than just education, it is a place to thrive, find your skills, find new people and network.

This program made shifting into college EASY. I feel confident about most everything and for anything that I feel I need help with, this program guided me towards the resources to find the answers.

I learned that there are more resources around campus than everyone expects. I also learned that there are a lot of mentors and advisers who are willing to help.

I learned to be confident; the case competition really pushed me.

Our writing instructor was super nice and helpful. I loved her background and her desire for women’s rights. She was great!
