Throughout the program’s history, companies and organizations of all sizes and in numerous industries have sponsored a project. These projects represent the full range of activities, from developing a business plan or a marketing strategy, to performing financial analysis or feasibility studies for a new product.

On Campus Speakers
We have many speaking opportunities at the School of Business Administration each year, both in the classroom and in lecture series and speaking events. You will be able to see a wide variety of business professionals from companies of all sizes.

PSU/SBA Mentor Program
The PSU/SBA Mentor Program is designed to provide an opportunity for students to gain clarity on their career goals and develop their own business network through a mentor relationship with a business professional. Mentors serve multiple roles for a student - friend, coach, colleague, and teacher. With the guidance and support of a mentor, students are given opportunities to observe the work environment, learn about the range of career opportunities available within a profession or company, and develop confidence in interacting with business professionals.

Job Posting
The School of Business Administration offers a free job posting service to employers seeking to hire students and alumni from the Graduate Business Programs at PSU.

Information Sessions
Employers seeking to increase awareness of their company among business students are encouraged to conduct information sessions any time of the year. Most presentations are 30 to 40 minutes long, with a focus on career opportunities for graduate business students.
