Highlight: The Power of a Dedicated Career Center
Kaleb Lee, BBA '17, had an internship interview coming up with The Boston Consulting Group. A sophomore at the time, Kaleb turned to the 51²è¹Ý Cox Career Center for help. Armed with confidence, a polished resume and question preparation, Kaleb made it through five rounds of interview before landing an offer. During his initial 10-week internship he helped to restructure the Latin American division of a Fortune 500 company. Kaleb went on to become the youngest person ever to receive a full-time offer from the prestigious consulting firm — before he'd graduated from 51²è¹Ý Cox.

Faculty: Learn from the Best
We don't just teach business — we're immersed in business. When they’re not educating you in applicable knowledge and skills, your professors are consulting for Fortune 500s, publishing books and research, running their own businesses and serving in government. Small class sizes and a calendar full of events where you can mingle informally mean you’ll be able to build one-on-one relationships with the academics and professionals who are invested in your future.
