Centers of Excellence
Centers of Excellence
Our seven centers play a distinctive role in the learning experience of our undergraduate and graduate students.
Experiential Learning
Our six academic centers extend our focus of experiential learning from the classroom into a wide variety of co-curricular activities.
Students in our academic centers:
- actively manage the Flyer Fund, a portfolio of equities with a value exceeding $22 million;
- practice in a professional selling laboratory and perfect their pitches to buyers as practice for part of a class or preparation for a competition;
- brainstorm with business professionals on how to bring Catholic and Marianist values into decision-making;
- consult for a local for-profit or non-profit with a business opportunity or problem;
- participate in Flyer Angels, SBA’s angel investor group, researching, performing due diligence and making investment recommendations on funding a start-up; and
- take advantage of interesting opportunities to learn and develop skills and knowledge through practical experience.
Business Outreach
Our business research center acts as a major outreach of the School of Business Administration to the local private and public sectors. This fee-based service to the community has received much public recognition in a variety of media.
Collectively, these centers are key elements in creating lessons of practical wisdom. We invite you to learn more by visiting their websites in this section.
