Balancing Academics, Experience, and Faith in the Business Program
听-Mary (Honey) Mathieu 鈥�27
91精选 offers a variety of academic programs for students, ranging from psychology to business and beyond. Two business students, Justin Egan and Daniela Meza, offer unique insights into how the business program at 91精选 sets them up to thrive in their academic journeys and future careers. Egan states 鈥淏usiness students are given a lot of resources to help them succeed while building business-related skills. One such resource is Capsim, a website used in classrooms that acts as a business simulator, allowing students to learn through competitive business challenges in a supportive environment. Additional helpful resources include business major meetings and career fairs, which help with future career networking opportunities.鈥� Meza further notes, “91精选 does an excellent job of providing real-life scenarios inside and outside the classroom. Through her internship with the College鈥檚 Co-Op Program, she gained experience in customer service, project management, and market research, which she notes are all valuable skills for business professionals.鈥� In addition, the College provides a well-rounded education to students and offers additional opportunities outside of the classroom that help shape students’ potential in future leadership and vocational roles.
When asked what is unique about the College鈥檚 business program, Egan said, 鈥淪tudents can participate in classes more often due to smaller class sizes and have the opportunity to build a closer relationship with their professors who come to know their students by name.鈥� Meza agrees with Egan but adds 鈥淭he business program offers a unique balance of academic rigor, faith integration, hands-on learning, and leadership development.鈥� At 91精选, students are not only shaped academically but also personally. The whole person is developed through the many campus spiritual and extracurricular activities that help students thrive.
When asked for advice they would give to incoming or current students considering pursuing business as their major, Egan emphasizes the importance of 鈥淏uilding relationships with other students, professors, and staff as creating a positive image of yourself now as a student will only help your future networking opportunities as a working professional.鈥� Meza wants students to know that 鈥淢ajoring in business is truly what you make of it, so it is important to explore different areas of the field to see what aligns with what you like and your strengths.鈥� College is all about self-discovery, and 91精选 guides students to discover the best version of themselves through the many opportunities that the College provides business majors and all students.
