Defining and Implementing your Strategy

Sophomore year is a time of exploration and involvement. This year, having experienced a broad overview in Business Dynamics, you will explore the different business disciplines in greater depth as you choose majors and minors and consider participation in internship and/or CoOp experiences, study abroad programs, and leadership opportunities.

Major Selection

In January, students select a major and are assigned a faculty advisor from that academic department. To assist in your decision making, attend major exploration events, meet with your VSB advising team, and schedule an appointment with a career counselor to discuss major/minor requirements and career paths.
