Business Wisdom through International, Service and Experiential Education (BWISE)

As a business student, you'll pick from eight majors that will give you a solid base of understanding into the operations of any business enterprise. But this is just the start of your education.

To really excel as a business professional, you'll need to gain additional business wisdom outside the classroom. That's why we created BWISE: Business Wisdom through International, Service, and Experiential Education.

In order to complete the BWISE graduation requirement, students must complete two out of three components:

  • Service. Our Catholic and Marianist heritage is infused throughout our curriculum. As future business professionals, we must be civically engaged and solve problems in our community.
  • International. By completing an education abroad program, international internship or internationally-focused coursework, you'll understand the global nature of business.
  • Experiential. Through an internship, co-op, or other experiential activity, you'll hone your real-world business skills.
