Student Life
Experiential learning happens through internships, service-learning opportunities, undergraduate research projects, class projects, case studies, and interacting and working with local business professionals. Students gain leadership, collaborative, and communication skills while developing a strong resume and a professional network. Being so close to the robust city of Dallas and its highly successful business district, UNT Dallas has developed many professional relationships and partnerships that provide a great advantage for business students.
Students across all of the business degrees have found excellent internships and jobs with companies like the YMCA, Marriott, Hilton, J.B. Hunt, TxDOT, American Airlines, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Comerica Bank, Walgreens, and AT&T. Along with internships, students find great real-world experiences by attending community meetings, serving in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program, and service-learning community-based projects. They can apply their learned material and give back to the community at the same time. Supply Chain & Marketing Management students benefit from the University’s partnership with APICS. Through this partnership, students expand their career options, interact with local professionals, and help create opportunities for people in the Supply Chain industry.
