Becoming a member of a student-led organization builds character, leadership abilities, relationships, and professional networking opportunities. Business organizations include the Human Resources Club, Accounting Club, Economics Club, MIS, Sports Management Organization, Financial Planning & Investment Club, Marketing Club, and CEO Club.
Great ways to gain hands-on experience is through participating in an internship, being mentored by a business professional through the Mentoring Program, and the Delaware Executive Exchange Program (DEEP), which gives business students face-to-face time to with some of the highest executives in the region. Centers exist to provide incredible opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community. Students can learn from, research for, and serve others through the different programs offered by each center. These include the Delaware Center for Enterprise Development, the Center for the Study of Innovation Management, the University Center for Economic Development & International Trade, the Delaware Center for Transportation, the SAP Center of Excellence, and the Center for Financial Services Innovation and Technology.
