B-School Buffet and Areas of Emphasis


With the weather finally warming up (it has been completely freezing here the last few days!) it was an excellent day to walk over to the Koebel building and check out the B-School Buffet- an event run by Leeds to introduce students to all the areas of emphasis and certificates available!

There are tons of options within the business school, so pursuing a more specific goal is very achievable. The more ambitious people often pair a business degree with a degree in the college of arts and sciences, which can give you a unique set of job skills. Plus, you don't have to pick an area of emphasis until the junior year, and within the business core classes you get experience in all of them.
