Feel Professional From Day One

Our Bachelor of Science prepares you for the real world. Whether it is through the AP practical semester, two internships, a student business project, or other extracurricular activities, half of the program is taught outside of the classroom. Business attire is a part of normal daily life, and you will regularly apply your skills in real industry settings through the preparatory year and internships.

Preparatory Semester (Semester AP 1)
