Our programs emphasize practical professional skills. Frequent use of case studies and an active partnership with local firms connect the classroom to current business trends. Our professors routinely work with companies, bring examples and issues back to the classroom and refer students for internships and employment. - Experiences: Team projects, internships and study trips give students valuable experience above and beyond the classroom.
- Technology: TU business courses require students to learn the latest business software, including spreadsheet, database and presentation applications. We invest a lot in keeping our tools current with what businesses are using.
