Advising Business Majors Community

This community seeks to identify and address the issues pertaining to business majors. We serve as a network for discussion, sharing of knowledge/resources, and best practices for advising business majors. Individual and collaborative presentations and publications at the national, regional, and local levels are encouraged.

Business Community Survey
  • Survey Results
  • If you would like to contribute to the survey data, please confirm that an individual from your institution has not already submitted a response, if not use the google form located HERE.
Two things you need to know about working effectively with business majors:
  • Admission processes for business programs vary across institutions. For programs with a secondary admission process, it is critical that advisors work with students early in their collegiate careers to create a parallel plan for situations where admission is not granted.
  • Internships and cooperative programs are instrumental in preparing business students for employment.  It is important that business advisors encourage students to develop relationships with the Career Services office on their campus as the field of business is competitive and ever-changing.
