PROFESSIONAL
ENRICHMENT PROGRAM:
The Christos M. Cotsakos
College of Business undergraduate programs are guided by a framework
that includes the professional enhancement, readiness, and awareness
of our student body. As such, the Professional Enrichment
Program provides opportunities for our students to meet and network
with area specialists, hear business leaders speak, become involved
in work related activities such as internships, practicum, and job
shadowing, and attend various seminars and forums that deal with
professional development and/or contemporary work related issues. |
|
Requirements:
All CCOB students are required
to complete the professional enrichment component of their educational experience
prior to graduation. All students must earn professional enrichment points
as they progress through their business program towards graduation.
Accumulated points are utilized in partial fulfillment of the course requirements
for MGT460 (Business Strategy and Policy), which is a required course for
all undergraduate business administration and accounting majors. Specifically,
ten percent of the grade earned in this course is a function of the number
of enrichment points earned: four points are required to earn full credit.
Less than four points results in partial credit being granted. Students
should actively begin accumulating points upon acceptance into their undergraduate
College of Business program.
How
are enrichment points earned?
Students earn enrichment
points through their involvement in supporting activities. Numerous
events are sponsored by the College of Business, or co-sponsored with
our partners, including the Career Development and the Small Business
Development Centers. Enrichment activities earn either one-quarter,
one-half, or one full point. Students must bring their University
identification card (ID) to any enrichment activity they attend.
The ID card will be scanned, and enrichment points entered into a database,
for the purpose of monitoring the number of points earned. Failure
to bring the ID card will result in no enrichment point credit for the
activity. We are firmly committed to the professional enrichment of
our students and look forward to your participation at these sessions.
Attendance is free, and complimentary snacks will be served at most events.
