Student Life
The Student Experience Center(SEC) provides countless educational and experiential learning opportunities along with helping best prepare students to enter into a career that fits their interests and abilities. The Professional Skills Forum courses are required throughout the first three years. These courses help with professional goals, etiquette, peer networking, creating a portfolio, preparation for internships, and building a relationship with the SEC. They also help students find internships with real companies to gain hands-on experience, improve their network, and build their resumes. With the university located so close to both Philadelphia and New York City, students have the advantage of making connections with and being influenced by professionals located in two enormous financial markets.
A variety of student organizations are for business students.
