Leverage Your Strengths

We’re all about strength. And no, we don’t mean weightlifting. We’re talking about your personal strengths – what drives you, where you excel at, what makes you “you.” With our strengths-based education, we’ll help you discover your natural talents and determine how you can build them for success. As a first-year student, you’ll be given a CliftonStrengths® assessment and your own personal, peer coach to help you build an individualized plan for your career goals, academic pursuits and personal well-being.

We believe in giving every College of Business student the power to mold a major that matches their unique passions – which is why we offer 10 majors, 12 minors and 34+ additional programs to mix and match together.
